ALERT - URGENT

We're experiencing a worldwide issue with "Crowdstrike" antivirus on all Windows computers, causing an endless boot-loop requiring manual fixes (~20 mins each at least). This impacts many employees, as encryption complicates the process. Airports and businesses globally are affected.

We've prioritized life-safety and critical systems are operational (e.g., police, Banner servers). Most office staff will be without working computers until resolved. Suggest advising non-essential personnel to stay home today to lessen campus impact. IT staff are on foot addressing the issue but are limited in number.

⚠️ IF YOUR COMPUTER IS IMPACTED please report it via an ITS Help Desk Ticket. Please include the physical location of the computer and if possible the asset tag or service tag.

If you perform a critical business function (or life-safety) and your computer is down because of this issue, please work with your Department Head or Dean to enter a prioritization request to ITS.
