People downvoting this are dumb. Itâs objectively funny. I know thatâs not what that means and I still stand by it.
Lighten up, Francis.
Yeah. I'm in IT. I understand the advantages of Linux. I just find it funny how so many people crow about it here.
People here also hate Reddit, but no one makes fun of them for itđ
Despite the platform having more users, we're all here for a reason. So it's no surprise to me that people hate Windows more than usual. I can't judge them for that.
Microsoft has released a recovery tool thatâs designed to help IT admins repair Windows machines that were impacted by CrowdStrikeâs faulty update that crashed 8.5 million Windows devices on Friday.
The tool creates a bootable USB drive that IT admins can use to help quickly recover impacted machines.
While CrowdStrike has issued an update to fix its software that led to millions of Blue Screen of Death errors, not all machines are able to automatically receive that fix.
Some IT admins have reported rebooting PCs multiple times will get the necessary update, but for others the only route is having to manually boot into Safe Mode and deleting the problematic CrowdStrike update file.
Microsoftâs recovery tool now makes this recovery process less manual, by booting into its Windows PE environment via USB, accessing the disk of the affected machine, and automatically deleting the problematic CrowdStrike file to allow the machine to boot properly.
This avoids having to boot into Safe Mode or a requirement of admin rights on the machine, because the tool is simply accessing the disk without booting into the local copy of Windows.
The original article contains 246 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 24%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This seems performative since you could already do this easily unless the drive was bitlockered and you didn't have a recovery key.
Many admins aren't technical enough to automate, they're going to boot a recovery image and delete the file by hand everywhere. This will definitely save effort, plus is something you can give to non technical people.
it would be hilarious if the tool had ads in it
Ads for Defender hahahhaha
