Several media companies, tech companies, and schools or universities are reporting a Blue Screen of Death on Windows 10. PCs are getting stuck at the “Recovery” screen, which states, “It looks like Windows didn’t load correctly. If you’d like to restart and try again, choose Restart my PC below.”
The massive Windows 10 BSOD outage is due to the Crowdstike update.
If you’re stuck in a Blue Screen of Death or Recovery loop, boot to the Safe mode and rename the crowdstrike folder c:\windows\system32\drivers\crowstrike to something else, and reboot your PC. This will resolve the Blue Screen of Death error.
Crowdstike has acknowledged the reports and provided us with the following statement: Hello everyone – We have widespread reports of BSODs on windows hosts, occurring on multiple sensor versions. Investigating cause. TA will be published shortly.
This is a developing story….
