Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud Windows sensors: All version
- Carbon Black Cloud Backend: All versions
- Microsoft Windows operating systems: All versions
Symptoms
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
Cause
The Windows computer has experienced some kind of abnormal shutdown.
Resolution
When a Windows computer abnormally shuts down, it's possible for the CBC Sensor's data files to be corrupted.
Fortunately, the CBC sensor is capable of detecting corrupt data files and will delete the bad files, and force the sensor to re-register which forces a new set of valid data files to be downloaded to the computer. All the user will see is a duplicate sensor device in the endpoints page, but with a new device id.
