    • there are currently two (?) fixes
      • “You memorized your BitLocker key, right?” – physical access to the computer to boot into safe mode, delete a file, and reboot
      • “Thoughts and prayers” – let the computer keep rebooting until it manages (somehow) to grab the fix in the lag or delays between reboots

      • Intel VPro (the thing that privacy people disable because runs at a lower level than the OS and does mysterious stuff), is being used to remove the broken file while the OS is booting/crashed.
