The advice, which is specifically for virtual machines using Azure, shows that sometimes the solution to a catastrophic failure is turn it off and on again. And again.
Most of our machines at my office run Win 10 or 11 and we haven’t had the blue screen. I was wondering why we hadn’t experienced this. Still don’t know.
So it isn’t whether you’re using Azure, it’s whether you’re using CrowdStrike (Azure related or not)

No. Azure platform is using Crowdstrike on their hypervisors. So simply using Azure could be sufficient to hurt you in this case even if your Azure host isn’t using Crowdstrike itself. But yes, otherwise it’s a mix of Windows+Crowdstrike.

A spokesperson for Microsoft told Ars in a statement Friday that the CrowdStrike update was not related to its July 18 Azure outage. “That issue has fully recovered,” the statement read.

Can you source your claim, that Azure hypervisor uses CrowdStrike? Because a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars that that issue was unrelated to the CrowdStrike update.
