Like the Pudding Popps and the Bennettan sweater, another icon in the 1980s ended. 40 years after the tragic news of the PC crash to Windows users, Microsoft’s notorious “Blue Screen of Death” is coming to an end. Without a sad face, a black screen of death will replace it.
Since coming out of Windows 1.0 in 1985, the blue screen of death has been around. With its bright blue color name, this is an important error screen that pops up on the computer using the Microsoft Windows operating system when the system crash. The text on the screen is different, but it is sometimes made of a large intestine and left bracelet face. 🙁
Microsoft says the new Blackscreen of Death, called “Easy to Restart UI”, will appear at all Windows 11, version 24h2 devices at the end of this summer.
Meet a new death black screen.
Death’s blackscreen stop code and faulty system will show the driver, which will allow administration to identify the problem more quickly, which causes the accident, instead of using debugging software.
This is not just a cosmetic change, it is part of Microsoft’s Windows flexible move, designed to enhance flexibility and security in the Windows system. In a blog post on Thursday, Microsoft said the new Black screen of death is part of “unexpectedly resume experience” and “helping the Quick machine recovery”. It aims to reduce the rehabilitation time for 2 seconds after the PC crash.
The Windows flexible move was launched after a crowded structure of 2024, which led to the system offline for several businesses, airports and government services. More than 8 million devices were affected.
A pop culture icon
For more than 40 years, the blue screen of death enrolled in pop culture, which includes many memes, a sub -seat dedicated to it, and T -shirts And other items with its image.
When Microsoft faced a massive global IT closure in July 2024, an X -user named the Day International Blues Screen Day, and shared a photo of a laptop -filled conference room with a blue screen.
Something about the unforgivable blue of the error screen that is unpleasant emotionally – and the reminder that everyone’s computer crashed once in a while – he made it an image.
“I bought my husband’s blue screen of a death T -shirt and wore to work at the Microsoft Corporate Headquarters in the day,” said Gail Fishing Bowire Cooper, CNET editor Gail Fishing Bowire Cooper. “I wondered for a minute if someone would be angry, but on the first day when he wore it, many people came to him to praise him and ask where they could buy one for himself.”
