With the still recent Crowdstrike and Microsoft Windows incident from July still fresh in our minds, Microsoft has introduced the Windows Resiliency Initiative. The initiative has four areas of focus designed to help keep Windows reliable and resilient.

Some of the changes include Quick Machine Recovery, which will allow IT administrators the ability to recover and execute fixes to a machine even if it is unable to completely boot into Windows, without the need for physical access to the device. This feature is set to be available to Windows Insiders in early 2025.

We are committed to ensuring that Windows remains the most reliable and resilient open platform for our customers. As part of this commitment, we are introducing the Windows Resiliency Initiative, covering four areas of focus:

  • Strengthen reliability based on learnings from the incident we saw in July.
  • Enabling more apps and users to run without admin privileges.
  • Stronger controls for what apps and drivers are allowed to run.
  • Improved identity protection to prevent phishing attacks.
