I don't know enough about Windows 10/11, but aren't they supposed to boot into a menu thet allows you to pick the last known good configuration before it evens boots to the gui?

The problem is with a specific file on the disk, not a misconfiguration

Apparently it’s because CrowdStrike installed their device driver as one that must start when Windows starts.

Explained here: https://youtu.be/wAzEJxOo1ts?feature=shared&t=675

I’ve linked to the specific time where he explains that issue, but tbh the whole video is worth watching.

It's been a while since I had such a massive problem under Windows but the last time you could try to restore one of the last backups and usually that failed because Windows restore points are/were crap.

Yeah we tried that where I work (I'm not IT) and it failed. Safe mode didn't work either 'cause it couldn't authenticate the user for login as the server was down as well.
