So, this is the kind of sneaky stuff I expect from Windows. One of my laptops is on Windows 11. The internal keyboard suddenly stopped working. On a Mac, I would know exactly how to resolve this. After doing some research about the PC laptop and doing a few common sense things (remove the battery, discharge, start up, then look for settings), I came to the conclusion that a WINDOWS UPDATE must be gumming up the works. Sure enough, once I had spent time on the update, the keyboard worked fine (and oddly enough, SOME keys worked -- a few of the F keys, so I knew it wasn't the hardware). Gotta love #WindowsUpdates! (That's why I schedule them manually -- so I can do them one at a time). I know, I know -- time for Linux... I'm *almost* there...

@tamitha also #ASUS devices tend to get #bricked by #WindowsUpdates and neother ASUS nor #Microsoft feel responsible to address the issue.

• Literally happened with a #ZenBook at a fmr. employer, so #ThinkPad & #MacBook became the only hardware after that...

Windows Update error 0x80070643!

So Patch Tuesday is causing a nuisance for many PCs. All because the Windows recovery partition is too small. You can enlarge it (details here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf) or just wait for MS to come up with a better fix.

Windows LAPS is now available in this months updates. Though it appears it may break legacy LAPS when the update is applied.

Microsoft really need to clarify whether we need to uninstall Legacy LAPS after the updates apply: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/12itqb9/comment/jfws118/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
