Microsoft kills its Windows blue screen of death

Key takeaways:

Microsoft is officially replacing the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a new Black Screen of Death in Windows 11.
The BSOD has been around for over 40 years and shows up when Windows crashes or restarts unexpectedly.
The new black screen will remove the frowning face and QR code, showing only the stop code and faulty driver info.
It will also include a fast recovery option that helps restart PCs more quickly—usually within 2 seconds.
The change will arrive later this summer in the Windows 11 24H2 update, ending an iconic era in Windows history.
