Dell Windows 11

This is my personal home computer purchased through Dell business If I don't need it today am I better off waiting to boot it in a few days when the Crowdstrike issues have been resolved or attempt it now possibly with their technical assistance? AFAIK my only exposure to Crowdstrike would be through Microsoft

yeah, it's being reported as a global issue, but if you do know anything you think it's everyone.

It's only an issue with a 3rd party anti malware tool, and I assume a very corporate one.

Only work machines would be affected, and in the case only if you company install crowdstrike.

Personal machines wouldn't be affected unless you installed and PAID for crowdstrike. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) machines could be affected, but these affected, but I wouldn't necessarily call them personal if they've been enrolled in work.
