Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool for Windows PCs Hit by CrowdStrike Update

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

Microsoft has introduced a USB recovery tool to assist in repairing PCs and other devices affected by a problematic CrowdStrike update, the company announced in a blog post. This tool allows IT administrators to create a bootable USB drive to quickly restore disrupted devices. Previously, CrowdStrike disclosed that a faulty update for their Falcon Sensor impacted approximately 8.5 million Windows devices worldwide, causing the notorious ‘blue screen of death’ (BSOD).

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

In the ‘Intune Customer Success’ section of their blog, Microsoft detailed the new recovery tool, offering two repair options: recovery from WinPE and recovery from Safe Mode. This signed tool is available for download from the Microsoft Download Centre.

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

According to Microsoft, the WinPE recovery option enables users to restore their machines without needing local admin privileges. However, if BitLocker is enabled, entering the BitLocker key may be necessary to complete the repair. Microsoft recommends this option for most users.

Alternatively, for users without access to their BitLocker key, the Safe Mode recovery option is available. This method allows users to boot their Windows PC into safe mode but requires login with local admin privileges. Microsoft advises using this option only for machines that are not encrypted or if the BitLocker key is unavailable.

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

Microsoft suggests imaging the device if it does not support USB connections.

To create the bootable recovery drive, the USB must have a storage capacity between 1GB and 32GB. Additionally, the PC must run a Windows 64-bit client with at least 8GB of free space to operate the recovery tool.

Microsoft Unveils Recovery Tool

The recovery tool, released on Friday, aims to fix Windows PCs and servers affected by the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor update. This release followed reports of global BSOD occurrences, affecting Microsoft services such as Azure, Store, and Office 365.

Media reports indicate that the update disrupted services across various institutions, including banks, airports, and IT companies. Airlines worldwide experienced flight cancellations or rescheduling due to “technical problems.” Australia’s ABC News also reported being impacted by the update.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz attributed the issue to a “defect in a single content update” for the Windows platform, noting that devices running Linux or Mac were unaffected.
