As far as I understand, Crowdstrike pushed a software update that included an updated driver file.

That driver file is bugged to the point where it frequently causes the system to crash during startup, leaving the system in a bootloop and requiring a manually applied workaround (booting into safe mode and deleting the problemed file).

That workaround can’t be applied remotely as the system crashes during startup, so applying it to each affected system will take a lot of staff time.
