Windows 11 will get a new color for the feared BSOD

Over the years, there are already many Windows operating system iterations. One of the worst errors that can be seen by Windows users on their computer is what is called a blue screen or BSOD screen. The screen gets its name from the color of the blue background and, in the recent iteration, has a user warning the face that crashes that the computer has a problem and must restart. 

Over the years, Microsoft has made several changes to BSOD, including integrating QR codes that allow users to get more information about what might cause accidents and potential improvements. With Microsoft now speaking on the next version of Windows, Windows 11, changes have appeared to BSOD in Windows 11 preview.

Especially, the blue screen of death is no longer blue. Upside is we can maintain a BSOD acronym because the screen now has a black background. So now it will be a black screen of death. The change was reported to match the color of the BSOD screen with a black logon screen and shutdown for Windows 11.

Background color changes represent the first significant change to BSOD since Windows 8, when the face that shrank was added in 2012. The QR code became part of the screen in 2016. The origin of BSOD runs back to Windows 3.0 and is intended to help people diagnose hardware problems and memory.

In addition to color changes, the screen windows 11 is the same as the screen seen in Windows 10. The screen will include the same stop code and crash dump to help diagnose problems. Additional changes in Windows 11 will no doubt be revealed as an operating system that is close to commercial availability.
