Episode notes
The cause of the outage was identified through Reddit, where Sysadmins shared information from CrowdStrike support that was not publicly available. This led to the realization that the issue was not a Windows problem but specific to machines with CrowdStrike installed. CrowdStrike issued an update that was quickly retracted, impacting users in Australia the most due to the timing. The incident highlights the importance of considering global time zones for software updates and maintenance.
