Dudes rebooting 14 times:
Looks like Minecraft to me.
You’re silly. It’s VGA Miner.
Can’t read the rest of the article because paywall but apparently users have chimed in saying rebooting 15 times worked for them. Whether they were serious or not remains a question. I can also imagine it was a time-related thing and after 15 reboots enough time has passed for it to be fixed so the user thought 15 times was the magic number.
Regardless, it’s been a shit show.
My understanding is, it’s just a matter of if the Crowdstrike updater service manages to connect to the internet long enough to download the patch before the core service takes a shit.
My team and I last night were lucky enough that our computers came back up after a single reboot following the BSOD. VPN and certain applications were wonky the rest of the night.
We had nearly 300 servers impacted, almost 100 still down. All planned maintenance for the weekend has been cancelled. Incidents like these make me very glad I climbed the IT ladder enough to not be in a support role anymore.
“Have you tried turning it off and on again 15 times?”
I gave up after 14! Silly me.
After time 14, updates. Begin again.
If you do it 15 times while holding down the B key Mew appears for you to catch too!
But only if you look under the mousepad.
I tried this but only found a lava cookie. Did they change this for Windows 11?
Hilariously, if Microsoft required WHQL certification for AV kernel drivers like they do for every other, this would have never happened. It would have been discovered in the first hour of testing easy.
Nope, done it probably 50 times. Fake news :)
You expect me to use my feet to count that high??
Reminds me of the good ol’ days.
“Three man, you always tell me to do three!”
