Microsoft recently announced in a blog post that it will update the iconic Windows Blue Screen with a new look.
Unless you have been living under a rock all the time, you must see the infamous “Blue Screen of Death” (BSOD) error message on your computer. The image of the error message has become popular several times. The infamous error screen features its bright blue color, sad smiley face and candid “error happening” news. Now, Microsoft announced in a blog post that it will update the iconic Windows Blue Screen with a new look. The tech giant said it is “previewing a new, more streamlined UI for unexpected restarts, which is better in line with Windows 11 design principles.”
Now the error screen is completely green with the text “Your device has a problem and needs to restart”. Also, there is no QR code now and the error code appears at the bottom of the screen. Microsoft may change the color to blue or black before everyone uses it. Check out the error’s new look here:
Blue Screen Death is a Past: Windows has completely redesigned the system crash screen.
Now it will be green, without sad smiley faces and QR codes, and BSOD will become GSOD. #Windows pic.twitter.com/x8ipwjmneo

As of now, it is not clear that the new system crash error screen will be launched to the public version of Windows 11. Officially known as Stop Error, the blue screen of death is a critical error screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows operating system to indicate a system crash where the OS reaches critical conditions and cannot operate safely. Possible issues that may cause BSOD include hardware failures, issues with or without device drivers, viruses, malware, and other factors (such as intentional user action).
