CNCs might not allow direct Windows access for end-users and require on-premise support from the manufacturer. Our cnc can be remotely serviced… if Windows boots.
If you’ve got physical access to the machine it’s your machine. All you need is a USB port.
I’d expect that the manufacturer puts out their own fix which basically copies crowdstrikes suggestion. I’d even suspect it by the end of the day today.
The fix is really simple, and luckily also very simple to automate. It’s going to be a lot of running around for IT staff (if deputized helpers!) but this should all be over by the weekend.

You're a few years out of date here. Physical access is not the end like it used to be. We live in an era of hardware-backed anti-tamper and signed loaders/kernels.
If you have a way around it, I suggest you start reaching out these companies because you could make a lot of money.
