This would have affected machines that were on overnight - if your machine was off overnight, it wouldn't have taken the update that caused the issue.
If you have a machine that is affected, then here is the fix below:
Boot Windows into Windows Recovery Environment – (Shift + F8 when booting)
Advanced options
Select Troubleshoot
Select Command prompt
CMD will open
Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory - type: cd windows\system32\drivers\crowdstrike
Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it. - type: del c-00000291*.sys
Exit CMD. - type exit
Boot the machine normally.
Hope this is of use to someone
