The company confirmed that this update causes the mouse and keyboard to stop working in the Windows Recovery Environment, which makes them completely unresponsive. Consequently, the WinRE feature becomes completely unusable. WinRE, which is an acronym for Windows Recovery Environment, is a built-in troubleshooting toolkit that comes with Windows. It is designed to help users when their computer experiences startup problems or other system issues.
It activates automatically if Windows crashes or fails to boot, but users can also access it manually to use a variety of repair tools. However, due to the current issue with keyboard and mouse input, WinRE is essentially unusable. Microsoft stated that “the USB keyboard and mouse continue to work normally within the Windows operating system” and assured users that they are “working to release a solution to resolve this issue in the coming days.
Windows 11 Updates, Following Earlier Issues With Localhos!
More information will be provided as it becomes available.” This is another problem caused by the recent Windows 11 updates, following earlier issues with localhost. Every new Windows 11 update seems to bring more problems. Microsoft keeps a page for Windows 11 version 25H2 that lists known issues and provides updates on ongoing problems. Early last week, Microsoft accidentally broke the Windows Media Creation Tool (MCT) just one day before Windows 10 reached its end of life. In addition, the company began requiring online accounts for Windows 11 installations, making them progressively harder to bypass.
Users Can Not Perform Any Recovery Actions!
All previously reported issues have been addressed or resolved, except for the broken localhost functionality and now this WinRE problem. Users cannot perform any recovery actions to fix OS issues without keyboard and mouse input. We must wait for a Microsoft patch and hope the OS continues to run smoothly without intervention.
