CrowdStrike update causes global Microsoft outage, affecting services

The issue seems to have surfaced following a CrowdStrikeupdate that resulted in ‘Blue Screen of Dealth' on Windows devices. The error says “Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart”. However, restarting does not appear to solve the issue, with the device getting stuck in a boot loop. Microsoft lists the error with the STOP code “PAGE_FAULT-IN-NONPAGED_AREA”. It is allegedly caused due to a failure of a CrowdStrike agent system file.
