Microsoft released a patch, KB5070773, on October 14 to restore USB keyboard and mouse functionality in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2. This update addresses a bug from cumulative update KB5066835 that rendered the recovery interface unusable on certain systems. Users had reported that USB peripherals worked in the main Windows environment but not in WinRE, which is crucial for accessing tools like Startup Repair and the "Reset this PC" feature. Recent security updates had also compromised the "Reset this PC" functionality, leading to emergency releases from Microsoft. The patch KB5070773 is now available for affected users, and it is recommended to install it to ensure recovery options remain accessible.
