Although it was discovered that This was all due to an incorrect update of CrowdStrikeOn Windows, many people have not managed to get out of this state.
Therefore, Microsoft released a tool that can directly insert a bootable USB driveIn other words, just prepare the USB, connect it to the PC and the problem will be solved automatically, for users who have not received the new update that fixes the CrowdStrike error. You can download it directly from here.
A simple update that caused chaos
As is usually the case in these cases, once the bootable USB drive is ready, you will just have to restart the PC, and if it does not do it automatically, press F12 to access the BIOS and choose in the boot order: BOOT from USB.
Some users report that multiple reboots resulted in getting the update CrowdStrike quickly released to fix it, but others haven’t had that luck yet and while there is a manual process to do this, basically rebooting into safe mode and manually search for the file that is giving the error to delete it, some do not have the knowledge to do this and this solution will be useful for you.
