Fix CrowdStrike Blue Screen Death (csafent.sys)Blue Screen Error [EASY FIX]
IT admins around the world are scrambling to fix a major issue with Windows computers today after a faulty update from cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike knocked thousands of PCs and servers offline with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error. While CrowdStrike has fixed the update that originally caused the problems, many systems are still offline, with banks, airlines, supermarkets, and TV broadcasters struggling to cope without their machines.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
crowdstrike blue screen fix
crowdstrike blue screen of death
crowdstrike blue screen solution
crowdstrike blue screen workaround
crowdstrike blue screen today
crowdstrike blue screen issue
crowdstrike blue screen bitlocker
crowdstrike blue screen error
crowdstrike blue screen recovery
crowdstrike blue screen airlines
crowdstrike causing blue screen
crowdstrike blue screen boot loop
The other option is to wait for CrowdStrike’s fix to come through — but getting it has been a problem. Some IT admins are simply rebooting machines over and over, hoping that the CrowdStrike update will get pushed through the network stack before CrowdStrike’s protection engine initializes and then BSODs the machine. Turning machines off and on again (yes, really) seems to be working for some, with reports of machines coming back online after being rebooted multiple times.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei , Microsoft Surface, and Samsung.

I already reset my pc because of this. Fkkk
Mine says, "this drive is locked by Bitlocker Drive Encryption. You must unlock this drive from control panel.
U missed 6 time star ******after 291😂😂😂pls correct your video ASAP
I was running into the same issue, because this specific file was not into my CrowdStrike folder, however if you run this command “dir C:WindowsSystem32driversCrowdStrikec-00000291*.sys” it will show you all files containing the 291 update, and these are the files you need to delete.
Hello, Mera laptop on nhi ho Raha hai (black light with {_ } this sign ) because I think mene desktop ka ek file C disk ( stroge ) se D drive mai cut kar diya 😭 how to on my laptop……. please reply ❤❤❤❤
00000129 not 291
I sent the command but it returned “The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.”
I also tried starting it in safe mode with no joy.
For these couldn’t find the file, try C-00000291*. sys
I dont have crowdstrike folder, but my system keeps showing me the blue screen and restarting again from day before yesterday. How to fix it anyone ?
