“CrowdStrike is far from the only security firm to trigger Windows crashes with a driver update. Updates to Kaspersky and even Windows’ own built-in antivirus software Windows Defender have caused similar Blue Screen of Death crashes in years past.”
“‘People may now demand changes in this operating model,’ says Jake Williams, vice president of research and development at the cybersecurity consultancy Hunter Strategy. ‘For better or worse, CrowdStrike has just shown why pushing updates without IT intervention is unsustainable.’”
Something I have heard (take with a grain of salt) is that there was a new windows update that went out just before the crowdstrike update. And the issue happened with the new windows update.
Not the case. I have dozens of servers last updated in May that crashed.
