There is a workaround available to recover already impacted devices, following these instructions made available from CrowdStrike:
- Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
- Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
- Locate the file matching 'C-0000029*.sys', and delete it.
- Boot the host normally.
Disregard if out on the links
I saw this earlier.
When my IT girlfriend in India was telling me what to do to fix it, about the time she said click on the CrowdStrike folder I said, "I think we should just delete C 5 Knot dot 29 star" and call it a day.
The silence on the phone was golden.
Of all places I had read that fix on Orangebloods earlier.
But when I said it to my Indian girlfriend I envisioned myself as "Elon Musk Type Smart", moving all my cool companies to The ATX and trolling libs, likely bringing her to a climax with "IT Phone sex".
She's probably at home drooling over her chicken tiki masala about that "Dreamy American Loan Officer" that spits-out code like he built the Taj Mahal.
