I suspect that deploying a new image via PXE will be the fastest resolution.

Ideally one you just built without crowdstrike.

If you have important data trapped in userspace, print out some bitlocker keys and get in the car lmao.

I'm not a Windows user anymore but have seen references to bitlocker. For any others curious its disk encryption, so users with it cannot apply the fix because booting into safe mode to delete a file requires unlocking the disk encryption. I'd imagine safe mode doesn't have networking? That doesn't sound too safe so yeah this is an IT nightmare logistics issue for remote workers with encrypted drives.

Microsoft added 'safe mode with networking' a long time ago.

Wait, does this mean if all your machines had Windows and Crowdstike installed, and you had no backups off site, all your data would essentially be wiped out?
