Microsoft is replacing the Windows 11 Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) with a Black Screen of Death after decades of the original BSoD's presence on multiple Windows iterations.
The change aims to provide more clarity and concise information to help troubleshoot user errors easily, and it is scheduled to roll out later this summer.
The transition from blue to black may seem like an odd design change, but the stop code will still be present to offer insight into potential issues.
While some believe the update will be beneficial for troubleshooting, concerns exist about potential complications or bugs with the new Black Screen of Death, especially given past Windows 11 update issues.
