On Friday, July 19, 2024, the whole world shook when a huge number of computers running Windows were disabled after the latest system update. As it turned out, the problem only affected those systems that used security components from Crowdstrike, which apparently conflicted with the components of the system itself from the new update. The solution turned out to be quite simple and we simply cannot help but publish it to help as many people as possible solve the problem with their computer.
So, if you were affected by this update and the system crashed:
1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or Windows Recovery Environment.
2. Go to the directory: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
3. Find the file that matches the pattern "C-00000291*.sys" and delete it.
4. Reboot the host normally.
Ready! You are gorgeous! :)
