It depends on the driver, but it's routine for updates to things like
video or lan drivers to update without a reboot.
It's possible that the CrowdStrike driver installed itself and then
crashed, or the driver update process forced a reboot which then
crashed. Either way...

They update, yes … but I’ve yet to hit a Windows driver update that
didn’t need a reboot. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. I do use a
third party driver and software updater utility, in preference to
updating through Windows, but I think the same update then reboot is
necessary in Windows.
