My employer is down right now. I assume that means our manufacturing plants are also inoperable.

I wonder this bug affected government/military IT systems?

The recovery tool has also been updated to include a new PXE boot option, and even a boot to Safe Mode option that allows IT admins to access BitLocker-enabled devices without a recovery key. You’ll need to have access to an account with local administrator rights on the device if you pick the Safe Mode option.

Microsoft also has separate recovery steps available for Windows Virtual Machines running on Azure, and the company has also published recovery steps for all Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices over at its support site.

This is hopeful and might save companies like yours and many others. Kind of a "forewarned is forearmed" thing. This mess might have been a blessing in disguise for those who ignore the reality of a possible future cyber attack.
