Windows 10: How to troubleshoot USB driver corruption caused by Windows system updates?

Hello, I encountered an update failure while installing the "03 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems KB5053598". Subsequently, all USB devices on my computer became unrecognizable. After investigation, I found that the USB driver was corrupted due to the update. I resolved this issue by restoring a system backup.I would like to ask: What could cause driver errors during failed system updates, and how can I avoid such issues in the future?
