Crowdstrike published a faulty update. Causes Windows to bluescreen. Driver is C-00000291*.sys. Will cause worldwide outages. Thread follows, I suspect. 
I am obtaining a copy of the driver to see if malicious or bad coding, if anybody else checking let me know.
If anybody is wondering the impact of the Crowdstrike thing - it’s really bad. Machines don’t boot.
The recovery is boot in safe mode, log in as local admin and delete things - which isn’t automateable. Basically Crowdstrike will be in very hot water.
Favour to IT folks fixing - could you please copy the C-00000291*.sys file to somewhere and upload it to Virustotal, and reply with the Virustotal link or file hash? It's still unclear if the update was malicious or just a bug.
@GossiTheDog sorry for posting a dumbser hint, but there is no way to batch a rolling back to Windows previous System Restore Point?
@guelfoalexander @GossiTheDog The problem would be that the windows machines can't get to the point where they can automatically download the update.
