"According to an eagle-eyed Register reader, the screen normally shows the next few stops, but now it is only displaying a baleful blue screen and a warning that Windows is very unhappy about something. "Your PC/Device needs to be repaired" is not the message a bus's passengers expect to see. The display on the bus is quite a bit more up to date, with a recovery screen that looks like something thrown up by Windows 10."
"And then there is the question of why the display is upside down. Ease of cable routing? Or, more likely, a reflection because the screen is mounted elsewhere. Whatever the reason, orientation can easily be handled in software. However, a tumble into Recovery mode has shown things as they really are. Windows is upside down. Destination Recovery, or a jaunt to the Upside Down from Netflix drama Stranger Things, is unlikely to be a place the passengers want to go."
A Nottingham bus passenger display that normally shows upcoming stops displayed a Windows 10 recovery blue screen reading "Your PC/Device needs to be repaired" with error code 0xc000000e. The error likely points to a Boot Configuration Data issue, possibly caused by a failing or disconnected drive. The screen appeared upside down, possibly due to mounting, reflection, or cable routing, though software can correct orientation. Using a repair disk on a bus is impractical, leaving the operator responsible for addressing the hardware or boot configuration fault and restoring proper transit information for passengers.
