A bootloop (also named boot loop or boot-loop) is a problem that occurs on computing devices which are unable to complete the regular booting sequence and reboot before it is finished.

A $24 billion incident

The 2024 CrowdStrike incident caused bootloops worldwide, in an catastrophic failure due to a supposedly routine update of servers worldwide, of a server configuration file on 19 July 2024. The update was withdrawn and the bootloops ceased.[a]
