In short: The death of Microsoft’s blue screen may soon go on the way to the dodo. The scary error screen, which is present in some form or fashion since the Don of Windows, is being replaced with a more streamlined version in the latest preview build which improves better with the design principles of Microsoft Windows 11.
Microsoft recently stated in a Windows Insider Blog that update user interfaces additionally support their goal of users coming back into productivity.
The update Windows 11 Insider is part of the Insider Prequuue Build 26120.3653 (KB5053658) and is now rolling for interiors on Beta, Dev and Canary Channels, Windows 11 editions 24h2 and higher in the canary channels. Once the update is updated, these users will be replaced by the traditional error message UI with a green screen that comes from the Windows update dialogue.
The simplified UI stops the technical details of the error, including the stop code, and which triggers particularly failure, in the Windows 98 or XP in less words than what you may remember from the earlier versions before the earlier versions. Also missing that QR code was found on sad emoji face and later variants.
This is not the first when we have heard of an update UI for the error message, and it may not be the last form of update. According to the latest Windows, the new BSOD will be black instead of blue or green. Perhaps Green variant Microsoft showed in his blog post, is just a placeholder for internal sources?
BSOD was a common phenomenon as a Windows user and most of my tampering overclockers in the 2000s. They were often an indication that I had pushed a setting far away, although sometimes, they indicated a software or hardware inconvenience. I eventually moved beyond overclocking and developed a praise for a rock-solution, stable system. Knock on wood, but since I saw BSOD for the last time, it has been year.
