- Microsoft replaces its blue screen with a black death screen
- This comes after decades of service from the original BSOD
- It should take place later this summer
Microsoft was gradually renovating Windows 11, with an aligned Xbox application for new Rog Xbox Ally hand computers which introduce an aggregated game library – but it seems that playing is not the only things on Microsoft’s radar.
As indicated by The Verge, Microsoft replaces the blue screen of Windows 11 death (BSOD) with a black death screen, after decades of the latter’s presence on several Windows iterations. He apparently wishes to provide more clarity and concise information to help easily help user errors.
This new design should start to deploy later this summer, and if I am honest (even if Microsoft has not said), it seems that this change is part of the big upgrade package designed for a more friendly gaming experience. However, (as the penis suggests), this can also be a response to the 2024 Crowdsstrike failure.
This seems to be a strange change change, at least in the sense of moving from blue to black, especially after the original is around for many decades. At the very least, we will always be able to continue to call the error message “BSOD” to make it short. The stop code will always be present, which contributes to providing a better understanding of potential problems.
Analysis: Do not fix what is not broken Microsoft …
Although I am not entirely angry with this change, I am more concerned with the question of whether it presents problems. According to my experience, there is little harm with the current BSOD error message; I am sure that this update will be beneficial for troubleshooting, but I have the feeling of “not repairing what is not broken”.
By going through the history of Microsoft with the updates recently, this did not encourage the confidence that the transition to the black screen of death will not eventually break the functionality in one way or another. Of course, there will always be a bug or two with various Windows 11 constructions, but some of its updates earlier this year have been alarming.
I also remained shy on the update of the operating system, as well as the GPU pilots of Nvidia, who both caused errors. Windows has left games like Assassin’s Creed Origins And other Ubisoft titles crash or incapable of executing, while (speaking of the new black death screen), the NVIDIA GeForce pilots continued to cause black screen errors during the pilot installations or to the user connection.
If this is implemented without any major complications or bugs, I will be happy; It will be mainly useful for Windows portable game PCs, as the amount of text is easier to analyze on a smaller screen. I just hope that will not become a more important problem than possible. Goodbye BSOD, and welcomes the new BSOD …
