97 % der CrowdStrike-Systeme sind wieder online; Microsoft schlägt Windows-Änderungen vor

MSFT has been getting poo-poo’d about this but I think that some kind of change to kernel level access is reasonable and doesn’t necessarily have to result in an Apple walled garden experience, and still allowing for competitors in endpoint security. Ideally you should be able to opt out of it, since it might mess around with things like gaming. MSFT overall gets a lot of the pain for this situation but if you were using Defender instead of CrowdStrike you wouldn’t have been hit by this in the first place.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/07/97-of-crowdstrike-systems-are-back-online-microsoft-suggests-windows-changes/) reduced by 80%. (I’m a bot)

> CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said Thursday that 97 percent of all Windows systems running its Falcon sensor software were back online, a week after an update-related outage to the corporate security software delayed flights and took down emergency response systems, among many other disruptions.

> The update, which caused Windows PCs to throw the dreaded Blue Screen of Death and reboot, affected about 8.5 million systems by Microsoft's count, leaving roughly 250,000 that still need to be brought back online.

> Microsoft VP John Cable said in a blog post that the company has "Engaged over 5,000 support engineers working 24×7" to help clean up the mess created by CrowdStrike's update and hinted at Windows changes that could help-if they don't run afoul of regulators, anyway.
