Microsoft wants to avoid another disastrous CrowdStrike PR abomination and here's how it wants to do it
TechRadarThursday, June 26, 2025 at 4:00:00 PM
Microsoft is rolling out a new plan called the Windows Resiliency Initiative to prevent the kind of chaos caused by the recent CrowdStrike outage, which left businesses scrambling. Basically, they’re trying to make sure their systems can handle—or quickly recover from—major tech meltdowns so companies don’t get stuck in another PR nightmare.
Editor’s Note: After CrowdStrike’s update debacle caused global disruptions (think grounded flights and frozen checkout lines), Microsoft doesn’t want to be the next headline for all the wrong reasons. This move signals they’re taking proactive steps to shore up trust with big clients—because when enterprise tech fails, the fallout is expensive. For businesses reliant on Windows, it’s a reassuring nod, but the real test will be whether it works when things go sideways.
