Microsoft Dreaded Blue is killing the screen of death (BSOD), which Windows users worldwide are familiar with decades. But wait, what’s on the horizon? Yes, this is All-New, All-Sing, All-Dancing Black Screen of Death!
Windows’s blue screen of death is going away
Blue Screen of Death has been part of the Windows experience for 40 years, starting Windows 1.0 in 1985. However, later this year, the blue screen of death will be sent to the dustbin of history; The only footnote in long history of computer and computing.
Does the end of the Blue Screen of Death also end the Windows errors? Not enough. This is just that the screen users will see when someone is changing their system.

How to fix the most common blue screen errors on windows
There are a lot of blue screen error messages on Windows, but it is mentioned here how to cure more notorious convicts.
This is like a change than a proper end, as the Windows users will still see an error screen if there is a problem. The big difference will be that the new screen will be black instead of blue. Nevertheless, given how infamous this screen is for decades, even a change of color is notable.
Officially, the new screen is titled “Windows 11 unexpected restarted screen”, but I guarantee that it will usually be called The Black Screen of Death by everyone other than Microsoft. Because this is clearly, and old habits (and naming) die hard.
As Windows experience blog post Announcing the change, the Microsoft is “streamlining the unexpected restart experience” in an attempt to reduce the interruption in an unexpected restarting position “.
Windows 11 24H2 included “crash dump collection improvements that reduced the downtime during unexpected restarts for most users for about two seconds.” And “Simplified user interface (UI) (…) improves small experiences (…) with pairs and Windows 11 align with 11 design principles, while preserving technical information on the screen when needed.”
Death’s new black screen “All Windows 11, version 24h2 devices will be available later in this summer.”
This is the end of an era, but not Windows errors
The end of making blue screen of death on Windows is actually the end of an era. There is no such mourning, obviously, but still an era. However, unexpected restart and error messages are not going anywhere, as they are integral parts of Windows experience.
It remains to be seen whether the new simplified UI actually improves experience when there is an important error. However, when someone does so, probably disabling windows for a period, most of us care about which color the screen turns into. We are insisting on how to fix the problem without losing data.
Nevertheless, if you are glued with Windows, it is finally time to upgrade Windows 11, Black Screen of Death and All.
