    It seems to be crowdstrike reacting to the new update.

    We have got ours up by the very manual process of:

    1 Boot into safe mode.

    1. Navigate to C:\windows\system32\drivers\crowdstrike

    2. Delete C-00000291*.sys

    3. Reboot normally

      Maybe a stupid question but why would not reaching an online service (?) blue screen your computer?

        I guess if the code acted as if it got a valid response without checking it could get into a very weird state. Or the code just fails hard.

        At the driver level it’s very easy to kill things.

        It has a privileged service running locally - csagent.sys - that was crashing causing the BSOD.
