Windows 10 users worldwide are experiencing significant outages caused by a recent CrowdStrike update, leading to PCs getting stuck on the recovery screen. Reports indicate that this latest issue has resulted in widespread disruptions across airports, companies, banks, and government offices globally.
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 problem on a recent support page, stating that the crashes are related to issues with the Falcon Sensor. “CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor. 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
Users from around the globe have been reporting the Blue Screen issue, indicating it is not limited to a specific country.
One user on X 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 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.”
Another Reddit user suggested a possible solution to the issue: “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.”
