Microsoft has announced it will retire the longstanding 'Blue Screen of Death' (BSOD) in favor of a new error screen with a black background. This update aims to improve user experience during unexpected system restarts, responding to feedback about the old BSOD being frustrating. The new error message will simply inform users that their device needs to restart, eliminating the sad face icon and providing a clear percentage for restart progress. This move reflects efforts to bolster the Windows operating system's reliability following incidents like the 2024 Crowdstike incident.
Microsoft is set to replace the notorious 'Blue Screen of Death' with a new error message on a black background, aiming to streamline user experience during unexpected restarts.
The shift away from the 'Blue Screen of Death' comes after the 2024 Crowdstike incident highlighted the need for a more resilient Windows operating system.
The new error message will be more condensed, stating 'Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart,' and it will give users clarity on restart progress.
This user-friendly update is part of Microsoft's continued efforts to enhance the Windows experience, as the revamped interface will debut on Windows 11 (version 24H2) this summer.
