It
is not Windows fault it is the security company known as CloudStrike.
Apparently there is so much insanity going on with this company. From
being accused of using resources to hack Russia media networks, to
even Ukraine finding that various weapons that uses internet
applications to function ( which in my opinion is stupid ).

It is called Cloudstrike because when it updates it updates from
multiple locations at once. So if your a business that uses a security
from this company, chance is that your hardware ( like a simple cash
register ) to even a tablet that uses it for
swiping a credit or debit card, could be affected. Which is why many
businesses have simple phone lines for there credit/debit card
access.

It is not Windows fault. It is cloudstrike and that a bunch of people
have this running in their businesses fault. Because big
non-for-profit ( our tax dollars ) are using the service ( putting
money into this company ), they are creating problems.
