What a simple fix

Seeing the crowdstrike solution reminded me of the old memes

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike

Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"

Instructions unclear. Using Linux.

Wait a sec I think I found it.
- I found mine in $HOME/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32
  
  This didn't break my whole system but it did break most of the software I value, so mission accomplished!
- If you don't have system32, it's fine to delete one from the store
  
  Or find another computer and delete it from that.
- They may have changed the name to replace the 32 with d, make sure to uninstall systemd if it's installed.
  
  Instructions unclear installed Alpine linux
- On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1
  
  I'm using hdd
- It's the /etc folder in linux. Just extra crap you don't need.
  
  ExTra Crap
system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64
Did this as a kid 600mb folder I needed space for quake
It’s an unnecessary folder if you’re running 64-bit.
- It's only there in case you downgrade your processor.
I only wanted to triforce.

Now I need to fix dad's laptop before he gets home!
In my mind, this is exactly what happened with crowdstrike
Gonna have to bust out the good old carbon dating kit for this meme
but that is where the 1TB "system files" folder is
