This why windows 11 needing an online account to sign up is a bad idea
- Turns out this is a CrowdStrike issue though, so unrelated in this case.
- It's a third party piece of software causing the issues though.
  
  Crowdstrike has a lot of internal control of your machine in order to do things like hook into the processes you are running to observe any malicious activity. It makes sense that a bug could bring the whole system down.
- Yep, the only real functions of that is copy protection, and Microsoft gathering data.
- Or maybe just generally a bad idea...

Good day to take notes. Which employers are using crowdstrike
