Microsoft teases redesigned Windows Blue Screen of Death
Briefly

Microsoft is updating the notorious Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) in Windows 11, aiming for a more user-friendly interface that aligns with modern design principles. The redesign removes familiar features like the frowning emoticon and QR codes, opting instead for a simpler display of essential information such as stop codes and failed processes. While the goal is to help users return to productivity swiftly, some express skepticism about truly enhancing user experience or stability. Current builds utilize a green screen for crash notifications, fueling discussions on potential future visual changes.
