Keyboard and mouse (trackpad) are not detected under bootable media

Thread needs solution

I am running build 6525 on a Dell Inspiron 15 7547 with 16GB and Windows 8.1.

When I use the bootable rescue media that I created, neither the keyboard nor the trackpad are recognized. I have read and applied KB 49698 (which states this problem was allegedly fixed in build 6055) but the manual fix suggested is impossible because... the keyboard does not work. Adding the force_modules=usbhid parameter when creating the bootable media does not work either.

If the suggested solutions do not work for you then you are facing using the WinPE boot media also suggested in the KB 49698.
