Yeah, I can just laugh not cry now, because all of my “when will he just f*ing finish it?!” frustration has been displaced by Patrick Rothfuss (no pressure, Pat, just please please if you care about us at all…

The cause was a pushed update to Crowdstrike, which is a service which runs a daemon on a computer which monitors activity and reports back to a cloud to try and detect anything sufficiently “weird” which might be an attack and need to be shut down.

This update causes MS hosts to bluescreen; as it was pushed out, entire companies watched their PCs and windows servers shut down in front of them in waves.

Linux and Mac are unaffected.

Crowdstrike have issued a workaround and a patch.

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.
  4. Boot the host normally.

I am glad not to be an IT tech today. Although I was hoping for a quiet work day. Darn these macs.
