The update that crashed things was an anti-malware definitions update, Crowdstrike offers no way to delay or stage them (they are downloaded automatically as soon as they are available), and there's good reason for not wanting to delay definition updates as it leaves you vulnerable to known malware longer.

And there's a better reason for wanting to delay definition updates: this outage.

How does a definitions update crash windows with a BSOD?
