Later, Windows 10 (2016) added a QR code, so that instead of eliminating error messages, you can use your phone to quickly jump on a supporting page. (And then probably reboot anyway, when you realize that this is not a help.) Then came Windows 11 (2021), which made a dramatic visual change to bend the BSOD Black, which matching the system’s logs and shutdown screens. In response to the same confusion of confused consumers and support desk engineers, it probably returned.
So, what is different this time?
Back to Black: Why is Microsoft digging blue
In 2024, a botanic crowded strike update declared countless PC unusable, which took down airlines, railways, banks, TV stations and more. What was common in them? Everyone proudly showed the blue screen of death. Microsoft is not difficult to imagine its crash screen less famous, less memorable, less memorable, low RememberAnd less noticeable.
It’s not that Microsoft never says so. Officially, the new crash screen is part of a wider Windows flexible move, designed to make Windows more flexible. And especially the re -design is about clear and simplicity. According to David Weston, Vice President of Microsoft, Enterprise and OS Security, according to David Weston, it improves the ability to read and aligns Windows 11 with design principles, while protecting technical information on the screen when needed. “
Here is also an additional bonus: Removing all different visuals from the Windows Crash screen gives Apple a less thing to entertain. So will not add more secretly to BSOD colors and: Macos PC in the icons: a really tragic face.
Feeling blue: Microsoft may be remorseful on this change
But before the wired shows that the black looks good on everyone, including the Windows Lock screen, let’s ask: Should Microsoft think again, as happened in 2021?
A whitewashed tour of color theory books will tell you that Blue is widely considered as positive, right cultures. It is the most favorite color and is associated with peace, tranquility and ability. It’s the sky and the sea – “everything is probably fine” shade. On the contrary, is black Uneasy Cold Corrupt Corrupt False
More importantly is the blue screen of death Unidentified. You can see it in the room and immediately know that something has gone wrong. A black crash screen, though, is at risk of mixing with update screens. And what you do not definitely want to do is to confuse users in any way. As a commentator wired, “You won’t change the colors of the road signs, so why equivalent to a computer?”
Whatever the reason – detecting a negative icon, combining the design, simplifying an experience, or just changing for the sake of it – is at the time of borrowing a blue screen of death. Nevertheless, the BSOD’s acronym will definitely survive, as Microsoft’s term “unexpectedly resume screen” will remain. This is no name. It’s a cheerful temperament.
It will always be a death screen for wired, which is its color, black or blue. BSOD is dead. Keep the BSOD alive for a long time.
