Apparently there was a Crowdstrike update pushed out this morning which is causing a LOT of windows systems to blue screen. For those who do not know, Crowdstrike is an EDR tool (Endpoint Detection and Response) tool. I.e. a protection against hacks. Here's a fast link with a fix :

CrowdStrike announces Microsoft outage workaround. How to deal with the Blue Screen of Death.

Did you get a Blue Screen of Death in the global outage? Try this.

Not a really "easy" fix, but it's a workaround to get the systems back up.

I appear to be in the worst boat. Fucked by crowdstrike, can't safemode due to bitlocker, can't self lookup bitlocker key due to company policies, IT not taking calls until they know what to do.

Guess I get a free Friday off.

Forward your IT department the mashable link and tell them to nut up...

You assume my IT guys don't already know the fix and took a small hands off day.

I will have to admit that to run the fix in an environment with Bitlocker you essentially have to have your IT department read you off a 64 character string and you have to enter it to boot into safe mode is some serious Chef's Kiss level of hurt locker pain.

Have you tried rebooting? 15 times? I hear that fixes it.

Jesus what a shitshow, haha.
