Windows 11 users will soon see changes to the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) as Microsoft revamps its design. The traditional blue background, frowning face, and QR code will be replaced with a simpler error screen in black. This new look aims to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for those facing unexpected restarts.
Currently, Windows Insiders are already experiencing a green screen for unexpected restarts, showcasing the upcoming changes in design. Microsoft's goal with this redesign is to align with Windows 11 design principles and ensure users can quickly return to productivity after a system crash.
