Microsoft has released a tool to help rescue Windows PC systems affected by the CrowdStrike bug as promised. This tool is a PowerShell script that needs to be installed on a USB drive on another PC first. Then, take the USB drive to the problematic machine and boot from the USB by entering BIOS and pressing F12. The script will then run and automatically fix the CrowdStrike configuration file, reducing the workload for IT admins as they no longer need to boot into Safe Mode to manually delete files on each machine.
In cases where the PC’s drive is encrypted with BitLocker, the recovery key must be entered to unlock BitLocker before running the script. The file can be downloaded from the Microsoft Recovery Tool link provided.
TLDR: Microsoft offers a PowerShell script tool to fix CrowdStrike bug on Windows PCs, reducing IT admin workload. BitLocker encrypted drives require recovery key input before running the script. Download from Microsoft Recovery Tool link.
