Banish the Blue Screen: How to Fix the CrowdStrike Bug on a Windows PC
#1

You should be able to enter the Safe Mode through the Blue Screen of Death via the advanced repair options button if it's already in the Recovery environment. 

Another way is to restart the PC, and hold the F8 key before the system reaches the Windows screen. 

In either case, you should see a blue screen that lets you troubleshoot. You’ll then need to navigate to "Advanced options" and pick the entry that lets you boot up in several different safe modes.

Using File Explorer, users should then navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory, and locate and delete a file called C-00000291*.sys. Restart your computer and it should be free of the problem for good.

Despite the fixes, cybersecurity experts fear many users and IT admins will need to manually repair the problem, whether it be through constant reboots or going into safe mode and deleting the affected file. As a result, it could take days or weeks to fix the issue.

Most often than not, you will not be aware of the file causing the blue screen.
