A great video explaining exactly how and why the crowdstrike crash happened and how to fix it.
TLDR: Crowdstrike basically acts as a device driver. The bad virus definition update included a bug that crowdstrike had no catch for so the system BSOD’ed like any driver error would. To fix it, you just boot in safe mode, remove the downloaded virus definition text file (#291) from crowdstrike’s directory, and restart.
(No 15 reboots needed)
