Seems like a widespread CrowdStrike update causing blue screen of death. Fix is straightforward but implementation challenging at scale, particularly if drive encryption also implemented. 1️⃣ Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment 2️⃣ Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory 3️⃣ Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. 4️⃣ Boot the host normally.
