    The only solution to then time was to go to safe mode and uninstall the update 291*but the problem is to do it in each and every system even worse is many IT pros, managers and techies who worked at firms' that got affected by this problem was not aware on how to do it and still worse not even had the idea to Google it or go to forums for help from people like you. This shows despite all these technological developments why we are still facing problems like these and the answer - qualified IT professional
    Shockingly people who interview candidates who are good at these things are not being seen as a valueable asset and get rejected for silly reasons like gaps in resume, lack of certification, age etc.
    That is the reason Sometimes I feel sometimes.. I mean even though we are at the best days of our life we don't feel blessed because the best (s) are put to rest.
    Thank you for this video again a nice and informative one.

      You can boot your PC into the Safe Mode menu from off state (Disclaimer - Not an expert just going off of Microsoft's Website) by holding down the power button for 10 seconds on the "Windows Logo" Twice to enter the Recovery Environment
      This may be different on a larger scale setup akin to ones that would be using Crowdstricken then an average personal use PC (Also I'm only accounting for Windows 10/11 since they were the affected OSes)
