The trouble appears to relate to an issue at Crowdstrike, a cyber security company, which may have released a problem update. It said early in the morning that it had identified the issue and rolled the update back – but those computers that were already affected do not appear to have been fixed.

On the company’s Reddit thread, representatives advised that the problem could be fixed by deleting the update and then restarting the computer. That requires administrators to have access to the computer, however, which may not be immediately possible for those that are being used remotely.

Windows PCs on Friday inexplicably started showing a “blue screen of death” error that left them unusable.
“This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed.

That's what happens when you don't have the big boys in Silicon Valley doing the High Tech stuff.

Two hour difference from Silicon Valley time. Hot shot techies may not want to work for a company that requires them to wake up so early.
And assuming they like to pay high CA state income tax.
