Looks like a massive bad CS update fail

I know of at least one large company that is down, likely due to BSOD servers imagine

Ouch, is that just with the latest agent, or if you're set to N-1 too?

Good luck to everyone :(

Seems like some devices recover OK after the blue screen, and some end up in a restart loop

Stuff reporting that some banks are having problems at the moment - likely they are running CS? https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350349389/live-multiple-banks-experiencing-systems-outages

 

Between that and Azure outages, it's been / is a hell of a day to be a sysadmin

 

EDIT: Seen a post saying to rename the crowdstrike folder c:\windows\system32\drivers\crowstrike to something else (in safe mode).

I recall a few years back a Sophos Update that caused all computers we looked after to boot INCREDIBLY slowly (2 hours). It was a nightmare to fix. Sophos Support were beyond useless.

Work around steps for anyone that needs them

 

     

  1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
  2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
  3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.
  4. Boot the host normally.
