Microsoft’s service came to a halt due to Crowdstrike’s update

Dell Technologies said the problem was caused by a recent CrowdStrike update. CrowdSrike is a cybersecurity platform that provides security solutions to users.
CrowdStrike’s update is also causing problems in Microsoft’s Azure cloud and Microsoft 365 services. Microsoft said, “We are aware of the problem and have deployed several teams to resolve it. We have found the cause.” This has affected only those users who use Microsoft Azure.
