The thought of a local computer being unable to boot because some remote server somewhere is unavailable makes me laugh and sad at the same time.
A remote server that you pay some serious money to that pushes a garbage driver that prevents yours from booting
Not only does it (possibly) prevent booting, but it will also bsod it first so you'll have to see how lucky you get.
Goddamn I hate crowdstrike. Between this and them fucking up and letting malware back into a system, I have nothing nice to say about them.
It's bsod on boot
And anything encrypted with bitlocker can't even go into safe mode to fix it
It doesn't consistently bsod on boot, about half of affected machines did in our environment, but all of them did experience a bsod while running. A good amount of ours just took the bad update, bsod'd and came back up.
yeah so you can't get Chinese government spyware installed.
