Microsoft is developing a new Windows endpoint security platform that moves antivirus and endpoint detection response applications out of the kernel space to prevent incidents like the CrowdStrike outage that affected 8.5 million machines. The company is collaborating with major security vendors including CrowdStrike, Bitdefender, ESET, and Trend Micro to build this platform cooperatively. A private preview will allow vendors to test and request changes before full implementation. Microsoft is also working on similar changes for anti-cheat gaming engines and introducing a Quick Machine Recovery feature, while officially changing the Blue Screen of Death to black.
