Windows 'Screen of Death' Will Change from Blue to Black
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Windows will change the color of the "screen of death". This was reported by The Verge.

The familiar blue "screen of death" (BSOD) for Windows will be replaced with a black one in version 11. It will look like the screen when updating Windows. However, it will contain a stop code and will not have a sad smiley or QR code.

Microsoft's vice president of enterprise security, David Weston, said the update is an attempt to "bring clarity and better information" to help developers and customers get to the root of the problem and resolve it faster.

"Part of it is just cleaner information about what exactly went wrong, where it is Windows versus the component," Weston explained.

Microsoft said it will introduce a new BSOD design in an update to Windows 11 this summer, along with a new Quick Machine Recovery feature.

As the publication noted, Microsoft developers are working to improve the fault tolerance of Windows after the CrowdStrike incident, which resulted in millions of Windows computers booting with a BSOD.
