Microsoft is redesigning its Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) to a simplified black version, marking the first significant update since Windows 8. The new BSOD will eliminate the sad face and QR code, opting for clarity by displaying the stop code and faulty system driver. This change launches for Windows 11 Release Preview users, expected to reach all users shortly. Accompanying this update is the Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) feature, aimed at swiftly restoring machines that fail to boot, part of broader efforts to enhance Windows resilience.
"This is really an attempt on clarity and providing better information and allowing us and customers to really get to what the core of the issue is so we can fix it faster," said David Weston.
The new BSOD will list the stop code and faulty system driver, making it easier for Windows users and IT admins to see what's causing a BSOD on a PC.
