So each bricked machine is going to need to be manually reset. And good luck with encrypted drives.
You do get prompted for a BitLocker key, but interestingly we were made aware of a command line command that forces Windows to boot straight into safe mode and it doesn't even ask for the BitLocker key, then you can delete the offending file. Very peculiar...
Yup.. I spent 14 hours yesterday and 9 hours today (a Saturday!) cleaning up the mess they made at my job.
..and all of today, and there are more to do tomorrow.
Happy you’re telling me that this will probably not effect the average user.
Am I correct @Brentech in assuming that at home, with a stand alone pc (Windows10) and a laptop (Windows11), I’m safe?
Correct.
Time for companies to look to empower another GUI based OS, too many things going on for Windows to be nearly the only one and most viable to the most users.
CrowdStrike - maybe we should pay attention to the names of products?
Hi Brent, thanks for the update!
Take care!
Why wasn't this tested. What is their quality control?
Bro, why microsoft edge has removed to open PWAs in a new window ? I've using that a lot..
I thought I might fall into one of them too. But this is all about finances
I'm curious, are affected systems able to be booted in safe mode? Perhaps cmd safe mode?
Yes
Its like Y2k all over again
It’s worse than that
