US Based and got a NANOG alert email just in time. At least half our windows servers down.

I went into our crowdstrike policies and disabled auto update of the sensor. Hopefully this means it doesnt hit everything. Double check your policies!!!

Edit:

Crowdstrike has an article out on the manual fix:

We are a major CS client, with 50k windows-based endpoints or so. All down.

There exists a workaround but CS does not make it clear whether this means running without protection or not. (The workaround does get the windows boxes unstuck from the boot loop, but they do appear offline in the CS host management console - which of course may have many reasons).
