97% of CrowdStrike systems are back online; Microsoft suggests Windows changes

A flawed update to CrowdStrike’s Falcon security software that crashed millions of Windows PCs is gradually being resolved, with 97% of systems restored, according to CEO George Kurtz. Microsoft engaged over 5,000 engineers to rectify the issue caused by the update, which disrupted flights and emergency response systems among others. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike pledged more thorough testing and a phased rollout for updates to prevent future issues. However, the firm was criticised for sending out $10 UberEats codes to cover the inconvenience caused by the disruption.
