I heard that CloudStrike is something that runs on Windows servers, and an error with it caused a bunch of Win Servers to crash. What's the impact of the issue too?

I'm not a tech person, tho I do use Linux desktop, btw 😉

Big time AV software used by a lot of conpanies issued an update that crashed all windows machines it was installed on. The only way to fix it is to boot into safe mode and then delete a file. On millions upon millions of servers and pcs. One by one.
