Read More The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which became popular during the infamous Crowdstrike outage last year, will get a major overhaul soon. In a blog post, Microsoft revealed that it will be giving the iconic Windows Blue Screen of Death a new appearance. It is “previewing a new, more streamlined UI for unexpected restarts, which better aligns with Windows 11 design principles.
" You have probably heard of the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error message, even if you have never used Windows. Although no one wants the error to appear on their computer, you will likely see it more often than you would like. When Windows devices experience problems, they display the BSOD screen in a blue background.
The updated error message is one of the features added to the upcoming Windows 11 version, which will be made available to Windows Insider programme members first. BSOD was introduced with Windows 1.0 and has experienced various cosmetic alterations.
However, this is the first time in recent years that the Windows error page will undergo a significant update. The iconic Blue message of Death with a frowning emoji is now being replaced with a simple green message that reads, “Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart." This version of Windows 11 24H2 Beta, Dev and Canary channels is only accessible to Windows Insiders.
Additionally, the QR code is no longer present, and the error code now shows at the bottom of the screen. “We’ve simplified your experience while preserving the technical information on the screen. As a reminder, for Windows Insiders, this appears as a “green screen".
This is beginning to roll out to Windows Insiders on Windows 11, version 24H2 and higher in the Beta, Dev and Canary Channels," the Redmond-based tech giant said in a blog post. Before it is made accessible to everyone, Microsoft may modify the screen’s colour from green to blue or black. This is what users of the most recent Windows Insider releases are experiencing right now.
Microsoft has not yet selected a final colour. According to a report by Windows Latest, the final version would replace the green screen with a black screen..
