Microsoft has announced the retirement of the classic blue screen of death, opting for a more streamlined black screen in the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update. This change aims to enhance user productivity by reducing reboot downtime by two seconds. The new screen is designed to improve readability and align better with Windows 11’s overall design, while still providing necessary technical information. Despite the nostalgia that many feel for the old screen, the transition reflects a shift in user experience and functionality.
I'm sad to see the :( go, I'm grateful for the precious two seconds of my life I'll be getting back.
The iconic critical error screen was by no means the peak of outstanding UX and digital design, but over the years, I've come to love the simplicity of the watery blue screen.
