So Long, Blue Screen of Death. Amazingly, You’ll Be Missed

Later, Windows 10 (2016) has added a QR code, so that instead of scrolling the error messages you can quickly use your phone to jump on any support page. (And then reboot probably, when you realized that it was no assistance)) Windows 11 (2021) came, which briefly combined the dramatic visual change of BSOD black with the login and shutdown screen of the system. It was later RevertedPerhaps confused users and desk engineers’ feedbacks in response to the supporting moan.

So, what’s different now?

Black Back in: Why Microsoft is digging blue

In 2024, a botted Crowdstrack update Countless PCs are useful by taking airlines, railways, banks, TV stations and more. What were they matching? Everyone proudly showed the blue screen of death. Microsoft is not difficult to imagine that his crash screen is less iconic, less memorable, low MemeableAnd less noticeable.

Microsoft will never say that. Formally, the new crash screen is a part of the wide Windows Reslension Initiative, which makes Windows more elastic. And re -designs are especially about precision and simplicity. According to David Weston, Vice President of Microsoft in Enterprise and OS Security, it “improves the readability and is better aligned with Windows 11 design principles, preserving technical information on the screen when it is needed.”

There is also a connected bonus: all distinct visual removal from the Windows crash screen gives Apple a lesser thing to make fun. So no more softly add BSOD color to and 🙁 on Macos PC icons. Really sad face.

Although a black crash screen, updated screens are at risk of mixing with. And you certainly don’t want to do something that users somehow mislead the two. As A commentator Keep the wired spotted, “You don’t change the colors of street marks, but why do you do this equivalent to the computer?”

Whatever the reason – drawing a negative image, simply design, simply changing for an experience, or simply changing for it – the blue screen borrowed. Nevertheless, the BSOD brief description must survive, because there is no possibility that the word “unexpected restart screen” of Microsoft will be stuck. This is not a name; This is an audition.

It will always be the curtain of wired death, whether it is black or blue. BSOD is dead. Long Live BSOD.
