CrowdStrike Outage Workaround

Talk about pushing updates without quality control. If they were doing things correctly not to many users would have been affected. I guess they are going to learn the hard way.

In results companies globally are going to review their CrowdStrike subsciption after this has been resolved to see on how that want to be proactive in the future.








Network Administrators Workaround 

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or WRE.

2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike

3. Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"

4. Boot normally.
