As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but roll my eyes at yet another tech debacle that makes me long for the simplicity of old-school gaming. This latest CrowdStrike update fiasco is reminiscent of those ancient pranks we used to pull on unsuspecting Windows users – you know, the ones where we’d tell them deleting System32 would make their computer run faster?
A solution has emerged for the CrowdStrike update issue that led to an endless loop of resets and “blue screen of death” on thousands of computers and servers. Surprisingly, deleting a specific file within Windows’ fundamental system directory is said to rectify the problem causing what some have termed the most extensive server downtime ever recorded.
Based on TechRadar’s report, solving the problem requires starting Windows in Safe Mode, then locating the CrowdStrike folder inside System32 and deleting a specific file with a particular alphanumeric name. As an alternative suggestion, Microsoft recommends restoring from a backup if available or connecting the disk to a virtual machine for an offline repair if no backup is on hand.
In the digital world, there’s an age-old prank called “deleting System32,” which trolls have used to deceive Windows users. They suggest that erasing a particular folder will enhance the computer’s performance, usually through a command line instruction. However, the truth is that deleting this critical system folder would result in various functional issues instead.
The July 19 outage may not have specifically impacted a certain number of machines, but its consequences were significant. According to the New York Times, it allegedly led to prolonged downtime for payment processors like Visa. Consequently, numerous flights were canceled, and emergency 911 lines in various US states experienced interruptions. Furthermore, logistics companies such as UPS and FedEx encountered disruptions due to this incident.
At first, there were worries that CrowdStrike was dealing with a security breach or a series of cyber attacks. To address these concerns, CEO George Kurtz used his social media platform X (previously Twitter), explaining that the problem had been pinpointed and a solution implemented, although it might take some time for the affected systems to bounce back.
