In cursory: Windows 11 users, do you find the black screen of death jarring and miss the comforting familiarity of the traditional blue screen? So here's something to cheer about: Microsoft is undoing a controversial change it made in its latest Os, returning the B in BSoD back to the primary color.

It was during July when those on the Windows Insider Program started seeing a black screen of death in the Windows xi preview instead of the usual blue 1, marker the biggest major modify to the fault message since Microsoft added the lamentable face up to Windows 8 in 2022, and QR codes in 2022.

Just for those who prefer their fatal errors to come up in calming blue rather than gothic blackness, the good news is that Microsoft is changing form. Ars Technica reports that the company recently pushed out a bug-fix update (version number 22000.346) for Window 11 to its Beta and Release Preview Insider channels. In among the update'south extensive listing of alterations and fixes was this:

We changed the screen color to blueish when a device stops working or a cease error occurs as in previous versions of Windows.

The blue screen of decease has been around since the early 1990s. Microsoft never explicitly explained why it changed the color in Windows 11, though information technology was presumably part of a 'new Os, new look' plan.

Most Windows users weren't too enamored with the color change, which could explain why Microsoft has gone back to bluish, or perhaps it's because seeing i of these letters tin can be depressing enough without information technology being shrouded in black. Whatever the reason, look to see the new/former blue screen of expiry rolling out to Windows 11 machines in a futurity update, one that could very well crusade a BSoD.
