This isn’t a critical security or performance issue, especially as it only impacts the Windows user interface. Furthermore, it’s part of a preview update, meaning users in the preview channel should be the only ones affected. It’s nonetheless annoying to those users, especially if you forgot your PIN for Windows Hello and you now can’t quite figure out how to type in your password. Microsoft said that it’s already “working to resolve this issue and will provide information when it’s available.”
Windows Updates are meant to fix security issues, bugs, and release new features, but if you’re tinkering with a complicated operating system such as Windows 11 , you’re bound to break something else if you aren’t careful. In fact, Microsoft released an emergency patch last month after an update prevented users from using the keyboard and mouse when in the Windows Recovery Environment.
