CNN’s New York Millions of Windows users have endured the infamous blue screen of death for decades, but it is finally being resolved.
Microsoft said in a blog post that it is eliminating the infamous feature that comes with Windows computers in the upcoming months, simplifying the unexpected restart experience with a new black-colored screen.
Later this summer, all Windows 11 devices running 24H2 will be able to see the streamlined screen that shows up after unexpected restarts. Additionally, according to the business, it will cut reboot times for the majority of customers to about two seconds.
Since the early 1990s, different versions of the blue screen of death have been in use. It began with the blue screen of discontent in Windows 3.1, when former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer wrote dialogue and included the control-alt-delete shortcut to end an uncooperative program.
However, Raymond Chen, a Microsoft employee, claims that the true blue screen of death appeared on Windows NT in 1993 when the system was no longer recoverable.
Additionally, a variation of the black screen was made available to Windows 11 users in 2021. The dialogue has been modified in this new version.
When a major outage laid most of the world’s technology to its knees last July, Windows-operated PCs displayed the notorious blue screen, leaving millions of users traumatized. The disruption was caused by CrowdStrike.
