Update: CrowdStrike Releases Workaround for BSOD Issue

A recent update to CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor for Windows has caused a critical issue, triggering a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) boot loop on affected computers.

Numerous Windows users have reported experiencing BSOD errors following the update. The error prevents computers from booting up properly and leaves users stuck in a reboot cycle.

CrowdStrike has acknowledged the issue and released a workaround for those affected. Users experiencing BSOD errors after installing the update are advised to boot into Safe Mode and rename the CrowdStrike folder to "CrowdStrike_old". This will disable the affected sensor and allow users to boot into Windows normally.

CrowdStrike has also announced a Microsoft outage workaround for users affected by the BSOD issue. The company recommends checking the CrowdStrike Knowledge Base for the latest updates and guidance.
