I know who that is and he’s also a Microsoft employee these days which makes this a funny sequence of statements:
“EU bad because they made us open up Windows to 3rd party anti-virus vendors. Oh, btw, the fully open Linux operating system can cope with such a problem if properly configured. Here’s the documentation to make that configuration.”
I don’t know enough about Windows 10/11, but aren’t they supposed to boot into a menu thet allows you to pick the last known good configuration before it evens boots to the gui?
It’s been a while since I had such a massive problem under Windows but the last time you could try to restore one of the last backups and usually that failed because Windows restore points are/were crap.
Yeah we tried that where I work (I’m not IT) and it failed. Safe mode didn’t work either 'cause it couldn’t authenticate the user for login as the server was down as well.
Meanwhile a Microsoft employee on how to prevent such an issue under Linux: https://www.phoronix.com/news/systemd-Auto-Boot-Assessment
You’re talking about good ol’ Lenny like he isn’t the author of the most used init and utility system as well as PulseAudio.

Not only that, he specifically attacked “commercial operating systems” - it’s anyone’s guess which he meant - for not implementing it.

The problem is with a specific file on the disk, not a misconfiguration
Apparently it’s because CrowdStrike installed their device driver as one that must start when Windows starts.

I’ve linked to the specific time where he explains that issue, but tbh the whole video is worth watching.
I don’t use Windows these days but I still enjoy Dave’s channel
