      Turns out this is a CrowdStrike issue though, so unrelated in this case.

      It’s a third party piece of software causing the issues though.

        Crowdstrike has a lot of internal control of your machine in order to do things like hook into the processes you are running to observe any malicious activity. It makes sense that a bug could bring the whole system down.
