UBX Provides Counter Measure For Crowdstrike Issue
On July 18 an update was released for Crowdstrike Falcon agents that caused Blue Screen boot loops for protected devices around the globe. UBX Cloud has created a more automated counter measure against the issues that many are currently facing with servers and workstations of companies that rely on Crowdstrike to protect their businesses.

UBX Cloud has developed a counter measure for this issue which doesn’t involve the need for direct admin access or requiring restoration from backups. We created this internally and have tested in on 1000s of our cloud servers that we manage, and it works extremely well. Please note that your mileage may vary, and we are releasing this internal fix for the benefit of all.
Just boot this ISO and mount on the impacted system. Run the script and it will detect all attached disks on the system and delete the CrowdStrike related files are preventing the impacted windows system from booting.
Instructions are to boot the ISO and run the batch file.
