Microsoft acknowledged that the March 10, 2026 hotpatch KB5079420 (and subsequent servicing updates) can cause the Windows 11 "Reset this PC" (Push-button reset) feature and Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to fail on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 builds, potentially preventing in-place recovery; administrators are advised to use external recovery media, verify WinRE status, and rely on centralized backups or imaging until a fix is released.
