Notification: Crowd Strike
Apparently we have a global computer outage due to a misconfigured file from crowd strike. I think it only effects Windows 11. So if your computer is down you can’t read this (lolz).

This is supposedly a solution:
Crowdstrike windows agent problem. A bad configuration was pushed to everyone.
To fix it, people should get into boot mode and the recovery mode, delete some temporary file and boot again. Poor IT teams world wide right now.
Do your own research!
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.
