Windows 11 25H2 Update Impairs Mouse and Keyboard in Recovery Environment
The latest Windows update appears to interfere with mouse and keyboard functionality, complicating system recovery efforts.
If your Windows device faces significant issues, you might find yourself confronted with a blue screen—not the famous Blue Screen of Death, but rather the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).
In WinRE, you can fix startup issues, access command prompts, and modify various essential system settings. However, many users have reported that the recent security update associated with the Windows 11 25H2 update has caused USB devices, including keyboards and mice, to malfunction within WinRE.
This crucial functionality is indeed impacted, making it tough to navigate recovery tools. Users note that despite the update’s stabilizing intentions, it has landed them with frustrating new problems.
