How to fix CrowdStrike Windows BSOD

UPDATE

This issue has since been fixed, and this post is unlikely to be relevant. The post, however, will remain up for archival purposes.

CrowdStrike just pushed a channel file that Is killing Windows systems. Here is how to get them back up and running:

1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or into the Windows Recovery Environment
2. Delete the file matching “C-00000291*.sys” in the “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike” directory. You can do so manually with the following command:
   cd \Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike & del C-00000291*.sys
3. Restart the host and boot it normally

This will prevent the broken driver from loading.

Happy Friday!
