Windows 11 operating system of Microsoft displays a blue screen error page when something is unexpected that requires restarted. Soon, Windows users will see a green screen of death instead. Here you need to know about the change.
Description:
- The Windows 11 Test version shows a green screen error page when the device is unexpectedly restarted.
- The error page stop code and “what fail” only displays.
- The QR code, smiley, and links to a Windows help page are no longer displayed.
The new error page for most parts is empty. This involves the phrase “Your device has gone into a problem and needs to resume technical information at the bottom”.
For comparison, here is mentioned how a traditional blue screen error currently looks.
The main message is that “your PC has gone into a problem and needs to be restarted as soon as we are collecting some error information”. The page includes a support page, a QR code, which links to the same page, and error information.
Why is Microsoft Changing? Microsoft says It has decided to create a streamlined user interface for unexpected restarted errors that “better align with Windows 11 design principles and support our goal of bringing users back as soon as possible”.
This is a simple experience according to Microsoft that still includes technical information that users may need to solve the problem.
It is not clear why this screen takes users back to the previous one as fast in productivity, as Microsoft does not offer a clarification.
tip: Windows restart the logs errors and you can see them using an event viewer. Look for “important” events to learn more about the issue.
The new screen is rolling for all Windows interiors that run Windows 11, version 24h2 in beta, deva and canary channels. It is likely that Microsoft will roll out the change in all Windows 11 users as part of Windows 11, version 25h2 later this year.
Lack of information by design
The Old Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) was not the most helpful of the error page error report. Whenever I checked it in the past, and the URL displaying the Microsoft does the same, then the QR code attached to a generic support page. Both do not provide information related to much error, which reboots the system.
The new error page also includes low information or aid options. When you can argue that the link and QR code is not removing anything, the linked resources gave at least users some general information on the type of error and how to troubleshoot it.
With that departure, it is up to the user to type the error code in the search engine or AI chat interface, or check the event log of the operating system for troubleshooting.
No one is going to remember “Froni Face” that Microsoft currently displays on the blue screen error pages. Microsoft can replace it with some lesson, instead it is displayed when the page is displayed when the page is restarted.
Closing word
The blue screen of the death error pages was not highly helpful in the past. Certainly, if you were quite early, you can snap a picture of the screen or immediately miss the error code displayed to start searching for a solution. In all, many Windows users may look incredibly useful if it will add more actionable information on the Microsoft page, or display the summary of what happened in the next successful beginning of the operating system.
Now you: When did you face BSOD error on Windows for the last time? What did you do to solve it and what is your opinion on the new design of error pages?
Thanks for reading..
