Thousands of flights cancelled, dozens of hotels and hospitals without IT systems, more than eight million computers turned into bricks… CrowdStrike’s serious flaw prevents Windows from bootingcan now be solved in a few minutes with the tool that Microsoft has just launched.
It may have taken longer than expected, but better late than never. You no longer need to manually fix the CrowdStrike error, or resort to the embarrassing hack. Turn the PC on and off up to 15 times. You just have to use an emergency tool created by Microsoft.
CrowfStrike is a security software installed on many critical computers in airports, businesses, and home users. A bug in its latest update prevents Windows from startingleaving the computer unusable.
Microsoft’s tool to fix CrowdStrike
Microsoft released figures a few hours ago: there are more than 8.5 million PCs affected by the CrowdStrike error.
Until now, this could only be fixed manually, using the trick of starting and turning on the PC many times, or entering Windows startup and making changes. But in airports, banks, and other institutions with hundreds, thousands of computers, this can take weeks.
CrowdStrike has released an update that fixes the bug automaticallybut it doesn’t work with all PCs.
Although it took days, Microsoft is going to alleviate the failure with the launch of an emergency tool that fixes it in minutes.
This CrowdStrike Bug Fix Tool can be downloaded from this Microsoft page. You have to install it on a USB pendriveand use that flash drive to boot the Windows computer from the flash drive itself, instead of the computer’s internal disk. So you may need to adjust the boot in the BIOS.
CrowdStrike’s grave mistake, one of the biggest in history, shows The dangers of everyone using the same software… And of not having a plan B in place.
Let’s hope that at least it serves to learn from mistakes, and that global falls critical systems, such as the one caused by CrowdStrike, do not happen again.
