    No, a dodgy virus update was issued to CrowdStrike agents around the world. On Windows machines and servers that use CrowdStrike (usually big enterprises) that caused a nasty error followed by a boot loop bluescreen of death.

    Now that is bad.

    The company found a fix, and started distributing. the issue is there is a system file that will continue to cause the boot loop, so the new update doesn't get a chance to be downloaded and installed automatically.

    Manual intervention, in safe mode, (Including entering a Bitlocker key, which involves typing ina loooong randow set of letters and numbers)
    force deletion or renaming the file, and then rebooting and waiting for CrowdStrike to do its thing.

    Good luck folks.
