Microsoft says Windows 11 KB5120998 update resets mouse settings
Microsoft confirmed that installing the KB5120998 non-security preview update released in August 2026 causes mouse settings to revert on Windows 11 systems. The issue affects users after the update applies, requiring manual reconfiguration of pointer preferences.
Why it matters: Windows 11 administrators and users need to defer this update or prepare for end-user support calls; mouse configuration changes will be lost after installation.
