Microsoft users globally encountering blue screen of death amid widespread tech outages
Crowdstike CEO apologises following IT outages that affected businesses worldwide
Flawed Crowdstrike update took down Microsoft systems leading to closed stores
Microsoft users worldwide experienced an error screen known as the blue screen of death on Friday as widespread tech outages persisted. The outage, which affected Microsoft 365 and other services, persisted for many hours.
The outages were caused by a flawed update to CrowdStrike's Falcon software. The update, which was released on Thursday, caused Microsoft systems to crash, resulting in the blue screen of death errors.
In a statement, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz apologised for the outage and said that the company was working to resolve the issue. "We are deeply sorry for the disruption caused by this outage," Kurtz said. "We are working around the clock to resolve the issue and restore service to our customers as quickly as possible."
The outage caused widespread disruption for businesses and consumers alike. Many businesses were forced to close for the day, and consumers were unable to access essential services. The outage also affected Microsoft's own operations, with the company's website and other services being unavailable.
