And for the 451855528th time: switch to Linux already. Why do people keep paying for this shit? Every time I get excuses. I switched to a Linux desktop 20 years ago. There were enout moments that I needed to tweak things to make it work but for the last decade, I haven't had any issues.

If you're dum enough to use windows for servers then you just deserve to burn, if you make that decision then its all on you.

Don’t worry, if it had broken in Linux, these same posters would be railing on CrowdStrike directly, but since it broke on Windows, obviously Microsoft is to blame.
