Downhill indeed:

.....I am far more concerned about the bug discovered in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). Microsoft describes WinRE thusly:

Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a recovery environment that can repair common causes of unbootable operating systems. WinRE is based on Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), and can be customized with additional drivers, languages, Windows PE Optional Components, and other troubleshooting and diagnostic tools. By default, WinRE is preloaded into the Windows 10 and Windows 11 for desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education) and Windows Server 2016, and later, installations.

The bug is USB mouse and keyboard not working in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). Microsoft noted:

This issue prevents navigation of any of the recovery options within WinRE. Note that the USB devices continue to work normally within the Windows operating system.

Microsoft is working to release a solution to resolve this issue in the coming days. More information will be provided when it is available.

This means that the most commonly used peripherals — ordinary, everyday mice and keyboards — won’t work if your machine enters WinRE.....
