I hate Windows as much as the next Lemmy user but it takes 8 paragraphs before this gets clarified.
Article must be old too
Crowdstrike already rolled out an update, it's just everything that's already BSOD is going to take a while to be manually rolled back
An additional problem is bitlocked devices that can't get access to their own disc to fix the problem. And in some cases, the key servers are even down as well. It's a huge mess.
Definitely not what you want to hear as an IT worker on a Friday.
At least it being Friday will be a blessing in some cases since it means for some sectors that IT will have the weekend to fix it during non-business hours.
Long weekend ahead, that’s for sure
Here’s to hoping they’re hourly and not salaried!
"just"...
The article rn is all over the place alternating between saying the fix will take a long time to come and saying the fix already has been deployed, lol
Not all that confusing. The fix is deployed so it won’t affect any more machines. The ones already affected will take a while to restore.
Ah yes. Very familiar with their software. From time to a time an update or version would wreak havoc on your Kubernetes cluster or at the very least degrade performance.
IT threw it on our laptops and on occasion I’d have to kill the process.
Hey Bob! Is that a 🐛 bug?
Nah Bob, it's a feature! Windows is full of features!
