Yesterday my system updated to linux-image-5.19.0-1020-azure. The immediate discernible consequence was that my mouse / pointer froze. Further investigation showed that /proc/bus/input/devices lists no usb devices. For the time being my work-around is to boot into linux-image-5.15.0-60-generic, which works just fine.
Is there a permanent fix for this? As an aside, what's the point of linux-image-5.19.0-1020-azure, and does it have anything to do with Microsoft's cloud platform?
Here's what's currently installed:

Follow up:
After purging azure and linux-image-5.15.0-66-generic linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-66-generic per Pilot6 (thank you!) everything is back to normal. However, I'm still getting an "Update Notifier" prompt to install azure. Why?
Follow up follow up:
My best guess as to what happened is that I (for some reason I can't remember) had a Microsoft repository in my sources. I got an "Update Notifier" prompt to install the azure kernel, which I naively accepted. I removed the MS source and now no longer get the "Update Notifier".
