Ask HN: How to fix Crowdstrike BSOD without admin access?

1 pointsfelipesabino1y ago3 comments

Does anyone know how to proceed if I do not have administrator level access to the computer?

I do not have access to c:\windows\system32\drivers\crowdstrike folder to delete the corrupted .sys file

I was able to boot on recovery mode with network, after waiting 30 min, as mentioned on a reddit thread [1], but when I rebooted and BSOD persisted.

Are there other alternatives on how to recover?

Did you tried to delete the folder or the driver?

I can’t even `cd` into the folder, due to permissions

I meant if you tried to delete them in the recovery mode.
