Not sure but Microsoft giving blue screens is older than time. I work in healthcare IT and we're a Microsoft shop. Been up a few hours already because of this. MS has a long history of pushing out stuff with bugs, but I feel as if they've been much worse lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warfish Posted July 19 Popular Post Share Posted July 19 Seems it’s Crowdstrike cybersecurity software, not even Microsoft itself. They owned it and a fix is reportedly out now. Probably a good time to rename the thread Id say. There is no attack. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARodJetsFan Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Only Windows-based systems are affected & this does not appear to be a Cyber attack. Apparently CrowdStrike pushed a bad Microsoft windows update that will not allow your computer to properly run & complete the POST/boot process. It had hit me this morning, but there is a recovery code you can obtain that should have you up & running in fairly short order. I'm back up & operating normally already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 My wife got stranded in SLC this morning trying to get back from a work trip (I told her to stay away from ZW). She won't be able to fly out until tonight. Apparently nobody at the airport could tell her why flights were cancelled despite the TVs in the airport reporting the reason on the news in real time. Seems like such a Utah move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARodJetsFan Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Statement on Falcon Content Update for Windows Hosts - crowdstrike.com CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted. This was not a cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed. We refer customers to the support portal for the latest updates and will continue to provide complete and continuous updates on our website. We further recommend organizations ensure they’re communicating with CrowdStrike representatives through official channels. Our team is fully mobilized to ensure the security and stability of CrowdStrike customers. Updated 9:55am ET, July 19, 2024: We understand the gravity of the situation and are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disruption. We are working with all impacted customers to ensure that systems are back up and they can deliver the services their customers are counting on. We assure our customers that CrowdStrike is operating normally and this issue does not affect our Falcon platform systems. If your systems are operating normally, there is no impact to their protection if the Falcon Sensor is installed. Below is the latest CrowdStrike Tech Alert with more information about the issue and workaround steps organizations can take. We will continue to provide updates to our community and the industry as they become available. Summary CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor. Details Symptoms include hosts experiencing a bugcheck\blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor. Windows hosts which have not been impacted do not require any action as the problematic channel file has been reverted. Windows hosts which are brought online after 0527 UTC will also not be impacted Hosts running Windows 7/2008 R2 are not impacted This issue is not impacting Mac- or Linux-based hosts Channel file "C-00000291*.sys" with timestamp of 0527 UTC or later is the reverted (good) version. Channel file "C-00000291*.sys" with timestamp of 0409 UTC is the problematic version. Note: It is normal for multiple "C-00000291*.sys files to be present in the CrowdStrike directory - as long as one of the files in the folder has a timestamp of 0527 UTC or later, that will be the active content. Current Action CrowdStrike Engineering has identified a content deployment related to this issue and reverted those changes. If hosts are still crashing and unable to stay online to receive the Channel File Changes, the following steps can be used to workaround this issue: Workaround Steps for individual hosts: Reboot the host to give it an opportunity to download the reverted channel file. If the host crashes again, then: Note: Bitlocker-encrypted hosts may require a recovery key. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment NOTE: Putting the host on a wired network (as opposed to WiFi) and using Safe Mode with Networking can help remediation. Navigate to the %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. Boot the host normally. Workaround Steps for public cloud or similar environment including virtual: Option 1: Detach the operating system disk volume from the impacted virtual server Create a snapshot or backup of the disk volume before proceeding further as a precaution against unintended changes Attach/mount the volume to to a new virtual server Navigate to the %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. Detach the volume from the new virtual server Reattach the fixed volume to the impacted virtual server Option 2: Roll back to a snapshot before 0409 UTC. AWS-specific documentation: To attach an EBS volume to an instance Detach an Amazon EBS volume from an instance Azure environments: Please see this Microsoft article User Access to Recovery Key in the Workspace ONE Portal When this setting is enabled, users can retrieve the BitLocker Recovery Key from the Workspace ONE portal without the need to contact the HelpDesk for assistance. To turn on the recovery key in the Workspace ONE portal, follow the next steps. Please see this Omnissa article for more information.
