Thanks to crowdstrike, I am getting unlimited OT. I mean, I will now be able to afford an Xbox series S for emulation.

I managed to hear this from ONE GUY the other day. So it turns out I do know someone that has had to deal with this one.

A picture of me with my shiny new Xbox series S with a heart drawn with red lipstick on the photo.

There are lots of us. We are everywhere. We could be in your house right now.

Better check your closet.

We have one client (two users local to us) whose Corporate uses this: i got contacted early by their IT as a possible issue to deal with, sent her the info I had gotten earlier that morning regarding the workaround. When I did actually have to address it on one user, their IT and I spoke, and she thanked me for saving her hours. The directions I had sent were MUCH easier and quicker than whatever Crowdstrike had sent them, and it apparently cut her per user time by more than half.
Only other user I had was a home user on an Optiplex. Apparently, at the time we had gotten it for her, Dell was loading it at the factory. When my boss called and said "She's convinced it's Crowdstrike", I said "No way. But I'll take care of it". He described it and I said... "sounds like it.. surely not...". Sure enough: Crowdstrike. Fixed it and uninstalled by brute force (CS requires a "key" to uninstall). Clients happy.

dell also has their own recovery built in as well... cSOS or something like that... (or supportassist branded) too. One of the places I clean had an optiplex that was in that mode and half the other systems there were blue screened.

and yeah dell has the crowdstrike option for pre-loading in adddion to macafee too bu it's not enabled by default tho so they may have selected to have it installed by accident...
