As you may have seen in the news, Microsoft has had major worldwide outages since early this morning. The good news is that Affinity-managed PCs and servers will not be affected by these issues. These issues were caused by a bug in third-party security software from a firm called CrowdStrike and only affects Windows computers and servers that also use CrowdStrike's software. Affinity does not use CrowdStrike's software, so Affinity-managed PCs and servers will not be affected. That said, third-party services hosted on Windows servers, including some cloud applications, may be impacted. CrowdStrike is working to correct the issue and have deployed fixes, so affected systems are beginning to come back online. For the latest updates on CrowdStrike's mitigation efforts, you can follow them on X (formerly Twitter).
