Thread by @LetheForgot to @SwiftOnSecurity on Thread Reader App – Windows boot recovery

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/23

[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @LetheForgot on Thread Reader App:

What we did was use the advanced restart options to launch the command prompt, skip the bitlocker key ask which then brought us to drive X and ran “bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal“which let us boot into safemode and delete the sys file causing the bsod.

Not scalable at all but let us get vital systems running while we try to solve the bootloop en masse

Don’t forget to renable normal booting afterwards by doing the same but running “bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot

Just in case another event like the 2024 Crowdstrike debacle happens.
