Crowdstrike brings down Windows PC's

Publish Date: Jul 19 '24

From the trenches of Twitter, I found out that windows has once again faced a global outage causing many systems to restart and enter a BSOD(Blue screen of Death).

Many tweets have surfaced, which talk about multiple companies including Airlines going down.

The fix given here isn't very beginner friendly and requires BIOS access which may not be something that is readily available.

So if your company uses Crowdstrike and windows you basically have an off-day but not the IT folks :)

It's a long weekend ahead, to get these resolved if Crowdstrike doesn't do it automatically.

    Hey everyone,
    If you're dealing with the recent CrowdStrike update issue on your Azure VMs, I've created a PowerShell script that can help fix the problem. It automates the process of snapshot creation, faulty file removal, and disk replacement. You can find more details and get the script here.
    Hope this helps!
