The advice, which is specifically for virtual machines using Azure, shows that sometimes the solution to a catastrophic failure is turn it off and on again. And again.

    So if the computer is in a boot loop, it’s a self fixing problem?

    That can’t really be their official guidance 🤣

      The official guidance has to come from Crowdstrike since it’s their problem, but this tip has helped on about 50% of our affected machines so far.

        That sounds like it takes an insane amount of time though. Windows has always been slow to boot, but 15 times is crazy

    So when normal boot procedures run into BSOD again and again, Windows decides to go into maintainence or emergency mode automatically after a number of rounds? I’m positively surprised, I had not expected the system to be smart enough for that.

      It just says you’re giving it a chance to pull a newer update before the buggy driver is loaded — sounds like a (bad) hack but I imagine it’s helpful in some cases.

      Pick up your machine and give it a shake. What do you hear?
