Again Microsoft with its problems 🤦♂️ Half of my computers at work froze because of this conflict with CrowdStrike. It's good that they reacted quickly.

Lorenzo, yes, we also had a panic in the office. But you know, temporarily disabling Enhanced Exploitation Visibility really helped 👍 The main thing is that they quickly found a solution.

Typical situation with Windows updates. Every time it’s the same thing - first an update, then problems, then patches. When will they learn to test everything in advance? Just some kind of circus! 😤

Sophie, I agree! Our IT department quickly responded and rolled back the settings. In general, well done CrowdStrike - they quickly released a temporary solution 🚀

Guys, has anyone installed 24H2 yet? Should you rush to update? 🤔
Isabella
Pierre, I would advise you to wait a couple of weeks until all the bugs are fixed. Better to be safe 😉

I’m on Windows 10 and I don’t know any grief. There is no point in chasing these endless updates! 😒

Heinrich, but new features and improved security are important! 💪 You just need to approach updates wisely.
