Windows 10 Update 2/13/2018

Apparently this update took out usb ports which made the mouse and keyboard inoperable.
Researched for fixes but none worked. It wouldn't let me rollback to the update point either.
It's a new computer which I got in early January so I don't have much on it.
Will a reset of the computer work?

There's literally no way on this earth that Microsoft disabled USB ports on a massive update. None.
Nadda.
Never.

Somebody forgot to tell Microsoft

Symptoms
After installing the February 13, 2018 security update, KB4074588 (OS Build 16299.248), some USB devices and onboard devices, such as a built-in laptop camera, keyboard or mouse, may stop working for some users.
Cause
This issue occurs in the unlikely event, due to a race condition, that the Windows Update servicing stack incorrectly skips installing the newer version of some critical drivers in the cumulative update and uninstalls the currently active drivers during maintenance.

Do a google search; its a thing. Some fixes out there but didn't help me.
Apparently it didn't hit everyone.
The dumber thing is I have to crash the computer 2x to get to safe mode.

I guess I should've stated that they did it intentionally. No one can account for failed updates.
So it sounds like he just needs to continue to run his updates OR go grab the drivers for his pc or whatever usb device he's running.

I hit "Reset"... I'll report back when done.

It's probably a driver conflict (obviously I'm not certain) with the update - reinstalling generic or updated drivers from the device hardware is where I would start.

Holding "Shift" while restarting doesn't do it for you?

Yeah, I can see what you're saying. Guess I was in a snarky frame of mind when I posted.

Yeah, probably just restart it twice will put him in recovery mode. Sucks to have to do that though.

Have not had that issue but I have seen a number of video cards revert back to running on a basic MS driver in lieu of the manufacturer's driver that was still loaded.

Reset got me back control; I wouldn't have done that if I had a bunch of programs/ work on it.
Nope!!!

microsoft's quality control and customer support has cratered over the past several years. I can eaaily see.them releasing a Windowa 10 update that would break machines.

Check out the Fall Creators Update.
I use ADK and audit mode to edit the default profile of a machine and make an image of that model to apply to others. As if making a customize default profile in Windows 10 wasn't already enough of a pain in the arse (removing all the apps, taskbar items not carrying over, having to work around default images, etc) something in the update now alters some hidden files deep in the default profile in such a way that new profiles can't even search the hard drive (much less browse the interwebz) unless you delete them all after going back through the oobe.

Yeah, the fall creators update has me considering getting rid of my tablet and using my Linux laptop exclusively. Nadella has created a disaster there. It may not seem that way now, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the end of Windows within the next five years or so.

Not gonna happen with their biggest customers being pretty much every corporate entity in USA and the US government.

That particular update nuked one of my user desktops. All he'd get was a blue screen and INACCESSIBLE DEVICE ERROR, even after using DISM to remove the most recent update. I ended up having to backup the hard drive and reformat.
I agree that these updates are being rolled out at too quick a pace with inadequate testing.
