CrowdStrike Fix:
If your Windows computer is currently serving you the Blue Screen of Death, take heart in the fact that you aren't alone.
Windows outages are being reported across the globe, apparently caused by a CrowdStrike issue.

Automated Fix:
Included in this package is an ISO file that automatically deletes the problematic C-00000291*.sys files from C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike and then reboots your system.
Use this ISO with Rufus or a similar tool to create a bootable USB drive and fix your system.

According to recent reports, a particular CrowdStrike issue is causing outages globally.

After handling this pesky file, the script will reboot your system, allowing for a clean start. Steps for Usage:
  1. Download the ISO File: Ensure you have received the correct download link.
  2. Use Rufus (or a similar tool): Create a bootable USB drive. Make sure to select the ISO file you downloaded.
  3. Boot from the USB: Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive.
  4. Allow Automated Fix: Follow any on-screen instructions to let the ISO carry out its magic. Additional Tips:
    • Make sure to back up any important files before proceeding, just in case things go sideways during the fix.
    • If the problem persists after using the ISO, consider uninstalling CrowdStrike temporarily or rolling back to a previous system restore point.
    And voila! With any luck, you'll banish that BSOD back to wherever it came from! If you run into any further issues, don't hesitate to seek additional assistance. Happy computing!

The info is still valuable but I removed your link. Most people resolving this issue are enterprise customers and they don't typically load ISOs with Rufus, not to mention the fix is a one line command unless they employ full disk encryption
