as a person who grew up messing with computers for 27 years. this is why you never set anything up for auto update it's best to wait a week before applying any updates just to be safe and choose the update instead of update all. they always have some weird issue almost every time
Most companies with a good IT department will validate an update or any piece of software before it's allowed into their environment, especially if there are hundred of thousands if not millions of dollars on the line.
Plot twist, Crowdstrike is taking revenge on Microsoft for randomly updating computers when we’re in the middle of lectures, online courses, intense gaming, etc.
I remember forced updates interrupting LIVE shows such as news and weather reporting. "So we see this front pushing toward" ... Windows update and forced reboot!
Most companies with a good IT department will validate an update or any piece of software before it's allowed into their environment, especially if there are hundred of thousands if not billions of dollars on the line. Loss of production and income is one thing most people try and avoid by taking measures and precautions.
It should be noted that the "fix" is to delete a corrupted file, but it largely has to be done by hand on each and every affected machine, because they're no longer accessible via the internet. Larger companies have methods of automating this fix with data centers and large servers, but laptops, desktops, cash registers, healthcare equipment, industrial controllers, etc that have this particular CrowdStrike product installed and were updated will mostly all need to be fixed individually, by hand. Expect major outages and impacts to continue throughout the weekend, and for issues to linger for possibly weeks. This isn't apocalyptic, but it is a decently bad problem with a body count and hundreds of billions in damages. It's as if a very minor, very temporary Y2K happened to a significant portion of society.
From what I understand, its not even a great fix, just a bandaid for now. Microsoft/Crowdstrike need to create a better testing and rollback plan for things like this.
@@krystal-annegraham654 CrowdStrike has fixed the problem with a new update. So when these computers are back online and updated, they'll be fine. CrowdStrike, however, is not going to exist as a company after this. I'm willing to put good money on that. There's gonna be some deaths from this. Lots of hospital systems and lifesaving equipment and 911 dispatchers went down across the world, and it will take days to get everything squared away. These companies usually roll out updates to chunks of customers, like you say, in order to catch problems before they get this big. For some reason, and who knows if it's a common practice, they pushed this update to a huge swath of their 29,000 customers without seemingly any basic testing or quality checks. I'm guessing probably in response to an imminent threat, but that's just pure speculation on my part, and it could easily have been massive incompetence, complacency, or greed.
lol just in time to change a news cycle…I’m starting to be very skeptical about everything they try to push on the news mainstream especially if they all start parroting it
@@JustMatchmaking Why you try to protect Microsoft? I have used Microsoft update before and it did crash my PC and I have to reinstall my Windows. Microsoft engineers now are spyware engineers.
@@Cha_HCM-je9qe I'm not protecting anyone. I'm correcting misinformation. In THIS CASE it was not a Microsoft problem. That doesn't mean computer crashes and broken features are never Microsoft's fault, just that they had nothing to do with this particular issue. Quit fearmongering yourself and use some critical thinking.
Sure sure, you would never lie. Instead you decided to tell the world you are incompetent. Which will cost them less, a massive hack, or saying a update was bad....

On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the blue screen of death and were disgraced to live in these cages we called Windows.
You mean to tell me that a company as big as Crowdstrike had an "accidental" broken update roll out? I call BS. When one company has THIS much control over our lives, it's time to reevaluate our relationship with them. Never put everything in one bag. I also won't put my stuff on the "cloud" which is just putting your information on someone else's computer so they can look at it and do whatever they want with it. You lose control of your information.
bad roll-outs happen all the time. It's a software development practice called CI/CD to speed small changes to production on a continual basis. On paper, it's a good idea. In practice, one small oversight can take down the entire system because testing is done in units (which can pass with flying colors), but external dependencies are NOT tested or cannot be tested until it goes to production. In this case, MS customers were the guinea pigs. In the old days, live tests were done on a subset of machines, but with the cloud, it's often all or nothing (or just too difficult) so they roll it out and cross their fingers that some hidden external dependency doesn't crash everything. The good news is that it can be rolled back rather quickly, albeit after the damage is done.
