🚨 Important Notice: Attention Windows Users 🚨 There has been a recent issue where an event involving Microsoft and CrowdStrike has caused BSOD in Windows machines around the world, resulting in major outages for many organisations. This widespread technological disruption engulfed the world, halting operations for banks, media firms, and emergency services, and necessitating airlines to suspend flights etc. If you encounter this issue, here’s a workaround that may help: 1) Boot into Safe Mode or Recovery Environment: 2) Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys” and delete it. 3) Restart Your Host Normally: This workaround should temporarily resolve the issue. Note: Remember that Bitlocker-encrypted hosts may require a recovery key during this process. Please be aware that this is a workaround, not a permanent solution. I recommend monitoring for updates from Microsoft or CrowdStrike for a more permanent resolution. #BSOD #WindowsTroubleshooting #CrowdStrike #MicrosoftEven

INCOMING INTEL - 7/19/2024: Faulty CrowdStrike Software Update Triggers Global Web Disruption An overnight CrowdStrike software update led to a global web disruption, affecting critical sectors such as banking, government, and healthcare services as well as travel agencies, media outlets, and more. The outage was reported to have been triggered by a failure in CrowdStrike’s Falcon Agent, causing an operating system fault in virtual machines using Windows Client and Server. This led to numerous systems being stuck in the notorious Windows “Blue Screen of Death” crash state.

Today, a global IT outage was caused by a faulty update from CrowdStrike's Falcon sensor, leading to Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on thousands of Windows systems worldwide. Microsoft uses CrowdStrike. They have integrated CrowdStrike Falcon with Microsoft Defender and Intune for enhanced security. This issue affected critical services including airlines, banks, supermarkets, and media channels across regions such as Australia, the UK, Europe, and the US. CrowdStrike has identified the problem and reverted the update, but affected systems still face BSOD issues. A fix involves booting into safe mode and removing a specific driver file. #microsoft #outage #crowdstrike #itnews #windows https://lnkd.in/gSpR7y3K
