It may not be their fault directly but it is causing Windows systems to bluescreen, which IS their fault and their responsibility, ultimately.


How is it their fault and responsibility? Isn’t falcon sensor basically running like a kernel module? Does it mean that Windows is not engineered properly when it can be crashed by this?


Are you saying that they should prevent or limit the ability of their users from installing third party software? Or at the very least prevent it from running in kernel mode?


A more reasonable claim would be that microsoft should have a way to allow virus-scanners to run without needing to be able to crash the kernel.

That isn't an easy thing to do, but it should be possible.


I don't think that is possible. How can an anti-virus not in kernel mode defend against viruses running in kernel mode then?


Ebpf can, I believe, not crash the Kernel


Windows blue screen was never Microsoft's responsibility. /s
