Microsoft redesigns Windows 11 24H2’s BSOD, drops QR code, frowning face, blue colour

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Microsoft is killing off the Blue Screen of Death… and replacing it with Black Screen of Death. It’s also dropping the frowning face for some reason, and I am not sure I like it because the updated screen doesn’t have enough information. Let me show how it’s changing in newer builds of Windows 11 24H2 and what it means for the IT admins.

The Blue Screen of Death error is one of the familiar, although hated, screens of the Windows operating system. It’s been part of Windows since Windows 3.0, which was released in 1990, and it hasn’t really evolved since the release of modern operating systems like Windows 7 or Vista.

I liked that frowning face.

Why not make the most important text using font size 1 and hide it at the bottom, after all who cares what caused BSOD, right?!

I hate those black screens. They could as least put some nice background to it.

Yah, black is a bit much.

Good to see Microsoft focusing on the important things. Who cares what the BSOD screen looks like, spend more time on preventing BSOD's and developing security features is my advice.
