We did get 7 computers back by 1am last night just by constantly rebooting.

That said, 40 out of 47 never came back. So clearly something more is needed.

Most of our machines at my office run Win 10 or 11 and we haven’t had the blue screen. I was wondering why we hadn’t experienced this. Still don’t know.

You don’t use CrowdStrike presumably

Azure is MS’s cloud computing. As long as you weren’t using MS OneDrive, or 365 Office, or something else that relied on MS cloud, you’re good.

Actually it’s due to whether your company uses CrowdStrike or not.

The issue is not being caused by Microsoft but by third-party CrowdStrike software that’s widely used by many businesses worldwide for managing the security of Windows PCs and servers.

Supposedly, one of the fixes (aside from rebooting and hoping it grabs the update fire) is to delete a single file in the CrowdStrike directory after booting into safe mode.

Yes, but Azure platform itself was using it. So many of those systems were down overnight (and there’s probably still stragglers). The guy you responded to specifically called out Azure-based services.

I just spent the morning doing this with my help desk team, although we just do it via command prompt at the recovery screen. We’ve had a 100% success rate so far at 93 devices and counting. I’m glad our organization practices read only Friday, at least.
