      Damn. Did you catch the quick fix?

      CrowdStrike Fix
      
      1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or WRE.
      
      2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
      
      3. Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"
      
      4. Boot normally.```
      
      Edit: I'm not even about to figure out the formatting glitch here, this information just needs to be shared to help fix the problem.

        Yup. The problem is a) rebooting in safe mode on remote/cloud servers. b) rebooting in safe mode if you’re also using BitLocker. :(

        An alternate suggestion from Microsoft is “reboot up to 15 times”.

          Meanwhile, last I heard is Microsoft themselves uses Linux to run their Hotmail servers…

          Yeah, perhaps things aren’t the same today, but hell!

          Oh fuck, 15 times? That’s a fucking delay tactic to try to keep their phone lines from getting clogged, no joke.
