The code update for CRWD has caused issues with Windows machines worldwide.

Due to an update of the information security vendor CrowdStrike's product, computers running Windows are crashing.

The Register has discovered that many Windows 10 computers are crashing, displaying the dreaded blue screen of death, and failing to restart.

According to the forum, Crowdstrike posted an advisory with a URL containing the phrase "Tech-Alert-Windows-crashes related-to-Falcon-Sensor-2024-07-19", but it is behind the Regiwall and only accessible to customers.
