Microsoft is set to redesign the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) in Windows 11, replacing its traditional blue display with a new, simpler appearance. This change will align with Windows 11's design principles and is aimed at enhancing user experience during unexpected restarts. While Windows Insiders currently see a green version of the new BSOD, the final release may feature either a black or blue screen. This marks the first significant update to the BSOD since the sad face addition in Windows 8, focusing on ease of recovery.
We're previewing a new, more streamlined UI for unexpected restarts which better aligns with Windows 11 design principles and supports our goal of getting users back into productivity as fast as possible.
The new design drops the traditional blue color, frowning face, and QR code in favor of a simplified screen that looks a lot more like the black screen you see when Windows is performing an update.
It's the first major change to the BSOD since Microsoft added a sad face to the screen in Windows 8.
This new design includes the BSOD error or faulty driver, and simply states 'your device ran into a problem and needs to restart.'
