Microsoft confirms CrowdStrike update also hit Windows 365 PCs

A faulty CrowdStrike Falcon update caused Windows hosts worldwide to experience blue screens and restart loops, with Windows 365 Cloud PCs particularly affected because they lack standard recovery options. Microsoft and CrowdStrike published mitigations — rebooting VMs via the Azure portal multiple times, restoring from Azure Backup prior to the outage, or repairing OS disks offline by removing the problematic CrowdStrike kernel driver — while customers continue to recover systems and await further guidance.
