Why can't we talk about improperly formatted kernel level drivers? MS is notorious for "oops" accidentally rolling drivers back 8 or more years, and now it's become a problem.

And correct me if I'm wrong but the CS update came before the windows update which caused the problems.

EDIT: I am a bit off the mark

On 19 July at 04:09 UTC, CrowdStrike distributed a driver update for its Falcon software for Windows PCs and servers. An update to a configuration file that was responsible for screening named pipes, Channel File 291, caused a logic error with the Windows sensor client, causing affected machines to enter the blue screen of death with the stop code PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, indicating an error caused by a page fault.
