The one screen that Windows users collectively fear is the Blue Screen of Death. The BSOD has been around for decades and has changed little over the years, but it’s still powerful enough to make users skip a beat every time they see it. Now it looks like our Windows blues are turning black.
Windows 11 Black Screen of Death – Updated BSOD!
Here's everything you need to know about the Black Screen of Death in Windows 11, what causes it, and how to fix the issues that might be causing it.
As multiple sources confirm, the original Blue Screen of Death is getting a facelift, but only on the surface. The 'B' for Blue is being replaced with the 'B' for Black.
The change is small, but is intended to match the colors of the Start and Shutdown screens in Windows 11. Microsoft has experimented with changing the color of BSOD screens before, but it's never been permanent. In previous Windows 10 builds, some users have reported seeing green screens or even red screens of death for hardware issues. But for most of Windows' history, the crash screen has been blue, so much so that many find the familiarity of the blue screen to be a comforting sight.
