Windows users must be familiar with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or the blue screen that appears when the device hangs or experiences problems. But in Windows 11 this legendary blue screen will disappear and be replaced by black.
These changes were seen in the Windows 11 preview that was just released this week. But according to The Verge's observation, this black screen or Black Screen of Death has not been fully activated.
According to The Verge, Microsoft will change the blue screen to black to match the login and cover screens on Windows 11 which are also black.
This isn't the first time Microsoft has brought major changes to BSOD. In 2012, they added sad emoticons in Windows 8, then added QR codes in Windows 10.
Microsoft first introduced BSOD in Windows 3.0 to help IT professionals diagnose hardware problems and memory errors. BSOD is Windows' own bug check, and usually contains a set of data that can help system administrators to analyze what error is causing the blue screen.
Although the BSOD color on Windows 11 changed from blue to black, the information displayed on the screen is still the same as on Windows 10, complete with sad emoticons and QR codes. In the currently circulating preview version of Windows 11, Microsoft also includes a green BSOD.
Microsoft itself did not comment on the BSOD changes in Windows 11, so it is not known why they changed the color. Windows 11 itself brings a lot of visual changes to make it more modern, maybe those changes are also brought to BSOD.
