Another reason why I do not like using Windows.

An update to a product from infosec vendor CrowdStrike is bricking computers running Windows.
The Register has found numerous accounts of Windows 10 PCs crashing, displaying the Blue Screen of Death, then being unable to reboot.
“We're seeing BSOD Org wide that are being caused by csagent.sys, and it's taking down critical services. I'll open a ticket, but this is a big deal,” wrote one user.

Totally.....even the count down clocks for when the subway train comes to the station platform stopped working in the NYC subway system.....

Turns out this is a case for Puppy Linux to be the tool to recover the Windows 10 machines from the dreaded Blue Screen of Death
