In view of the recent event in which Windows PCs around the world can no longer start and come to a halt with a system crash (so-called “Blue Screen Of Death” or BSOD for short), we would like to offer all our customers a solution at short notice with which you can not only solve the problem, but also regain access to your data and of course your system.
O&O BlueCon to the Rescue
O&O BlueCon enables you to boot a Windows PC that can no longer be started and to carry out the appropriate measures in your own rescue environment. The background to this is an error at the security provider Crowdstrike, whose software is used worldwide, particularly in companies and public administrations. You can find more information in the following article at CNN.
Solution to the current problem
To prevent the BSOD, users should delete the file C-00000291*.sys in the directory C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike – the asterisk stands for any character string, as this file can have different names on different systems. With O&O BlueCon, you can simply go to this directory after starting with the integrated file explorer and delete the file. The machine should then be able to start again.
The All-In-1 Tool Kit for your IT needs
By the way: O&O BlueCon can also help you with all other daily problems with Windows, for example resetting forgotten passwords or rescuing data from defective systems. It is the Swiss Army knife of Windows tools. Developed and produced in Berlin!
