A laptop I was working on was affected. Went into Safe mode, deleted the stupid file and went on with my day. The poor help desk team, though...

It shut down the systems here at the detention center. But in the career of corrections I've noticed they stay prepared for it. We dug out the old school physical paperwork.

But hey it maze doing my rounds a lot quicker since I couldn't use the tablet to scan the cells

Haven't heard about it. What Microsoft outage?

a major cybersecurity suite called crowdstrike fucked up majorly by pushing a bugged software update, and the main devices that use them are windows computers run by businesses

well, they pushed out a fucked update and it causes bsod loops, usually requiring the computer to be reimaged entirely to fix.

as you can imagine, this sucks for businesses that use it, so billions of dollars have been lost today

tbh, I *think* my laptop got hit by that bug either earlier in the week or last week (it was just doing a restart loop for the longest time... and then was after freezing on the suggested update prompt). Either way, I don't remember getting y2k'd by the issue.

In general, most Microsoft updates cause problems.

The issue I had sounded exactly like what everybody described for this. And it was something I'd never encountered before. If it's unrelated, that's just weird timing.

Anyway, that laptop was out of order for days. Actually, I *think* it only started working when I checked it on Friday. Which, if it's unrelated, is weird timing, but if the update wasn't rolling out early for some people, then it was an annoying coincidence.

I'm using Windows 10 on my home PC and haven't turned on my PC since I heard of this.
Do you think I'm fine to use it again?

Unless you use crowdstrike, you'll be fine

My state does anyways. Only one computer got the blue screen of death but our internet access was fucked on every computer.
