Their "Statement" is remarkably aloof for having brought down flights, hospitals, and 911 services.
"The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed."
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what I read elsewhere, but is the machine not BSODing upon boot, prior to a Windows Update service being able to run? The "fix" I see on reddit is roughly:
Workaround Steps:
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.
I'm horrified at the thought of tens of thousands of novice Windows users digging through System32 to delete driver files; can someone set my mind at ease and assure me this will eventually be fixed in an automated fashion?
