admin Windows 10 users globally are experiencing significant outages due to a new Crowdstrike update, causing PCs to become stuck on the recovery screen. Reports indicate that this issue has resulted in widespread disruptions at airports, companies, banks, and government offices worldwide.
Users on social media have shared images of their screens stuck on the recovery page, displaying the message, “It looks like Windows didn’t load correctly. If you’d like to restart and try again, choose Restart my PC below.”
Crowdstrike has acknowledged the issue on a recent support page, stating that the recent crashes on Windows are related to problems with the Falcon sensor. “CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor,” the company noted.
“Symptoms include hosts experiencing a bugcheck\blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor. Our Engineering teams are actively working to resolve this issue and there is no need to open a support ticket.” the company added
Netizens react to Blue Screen issues on Windows:
Netizens’ posts from around the globe suggest the Blue screen issue is not limited to a specific country. One user on X, while intimating about the issue, wrote, “Something super weird happening right now: just been called by several totally different media outlets in the last few minutes, all with Windows machines suddenly BSoD’ing (Blue Screen of Death). Anyone else seen this?”
A user from Malaysia posted about the issue on Reddit, stating, “Malaysia here, 70% of our laptops are down and stuck in boot, HQ from Japan ordered a company-wide shutdown, someone’s getting fireblasted for this shit lmao.”
Meanwhile, another user on Reddit suggested a possible solution to the issue, stating, “Update: Can confirm the below stops the BSOD Loop. Go into CMD from recovery options. Change to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. Rename Crowdstrike to Crowdstrike_Fucked. Start windows. It’s not great but at least that means we can get some windows back…”
