Summary
Microsoft is introducing Quick Machine Recovery, a new recovery mode for Windows aimed at assisting IT administrators in managing large fleets of PCs. This feature is a response to a past incident where a faulty CrowdStrike update caused millions of machines to crash, necessitating manual fixes until an automatic patch was applied. Quick Machine Recovery will enable administrators to remotely execute targeted fixes on unbootable machines, enhancing recovery efficiency and minimizing downtime. Additionally, Microsoft advocates for a shift among cybersecurity vendors away from kernel-level access implementations, proposing a new security layer that allows antivirus software to operate in user mode to reduce the risk of widespread system failures.
