About this tag
KB5075039 is a Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) servicing update for Windows 10, reissued by Microsoft in March 2026 to fix a regression introduced by the October 2025 WinRE update (KB5068164). This regression caused WinRE to fail to start or to reject USB input devices on some systems. The update is available primarily for devices enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU) or running Enterprise LTSC, leaving Windows 10 Home and Pro users without an official fix after the end-of-support date. The patch restores WinRE functionality and includes a Safe OS dynamic package to correct the broken recovery image.
