A recent bug in Windows 10, triggered by a CrowdStrike update, has caused significant disruptions at numerous major airports. The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error has crippled computer systems, forcing airline companies to issue hand-written boarding passes. This has led to considerable inconvenience for travelers and a slowdown in airport operations.

Key Points:

• Delhi Airport Impact: Services at Delhi Airport have been notably affected by the CrowdStrike bug.
• Airline Response: Akasa Airlines and Indigo Airlines are among those issuing handwritten boarding passes to passengers.
• Microsoft’s Response: Microsoft has yet to release an update addressing the BSOD issue that has resulted in widespread computer failures.
• Identified Reason: The issue has been traced back to a recent CrowdStrike update that has inadvertently caused the BSOD error on Windows 10 systems.

The widespread glitch has highlighted vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, causing disruptions in various sectors beyond airports. Both travelers and businesses are eagerly awaiting a resolution from Microsoft to restore normal operations.
