All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It’s all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We’ll see if that changes over the weekend…

One possible fix is to delete a particular file while booting in safe mode. But then they’ll need to fix each system manually. My company encrypts the disks as well so it’s going to be a even bigger pain (for them). I’m just happy my weekend started early.

Yeah that would be case in most laptops. So if bitlocker is involved as well what could be the possible fix.
