The issue was caused by a third-party vendor, though. A similar issue could have happened on other OSes too. There's relatively intrusive endpoint security systems for MacOS and Linux too.
That's the annoying thing here. Everyone, particularly Lemmy where everyone runs Linux and FOSS, thinks this is a Microsoft/Windows issue. It's not, it's a Crowdstrike issue.
It's a MS process issue. This is a testing failure and a rollout failure
Windows is imfamous for a do-it-yourself install process, they are likely using their own deployment tools. If anything, criticize them for not helping the update process at all.
