Microsoft is engaging with third-party companies to establish new standards for collaboration and address concerns. The company is implementing security enhancements for Windows, including a redesign of the "blue screen of death," now called the "unexpected restart screen," which will change from blue to black. This redesign aims to improve readability and align with Windows 11 aesthetics. A new feature, "quick machine recovery" (QMR), will help users recover from multiple unexpected restarts or boot loops by transitioning to Windows Recovery Environment (RE). QMR will be enabled by default on Windows 11 Home, with configuration options for Pro and Enterprise versions. Both QMR and the redesigned screen will be included in the Windows 11 24H2 update, set to launch later this summer, with additional customization options planned for later in the year.

Microsoft introduced an optional update for Windows 11, designated as KB5043145, which has caused significant issues for some users, leading to unresponsive systems. After installation, many users experienced the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or the Green Screen of Death (GSOD), and some were prompted for BitLocker recovery. The update has been linked to a persistent boot loop, preventing affected systems from starting properly. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue, particularly for users on Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2, and has removed the update from circulation. Users reported additional problems, including non-functional mice and keyboards and loss of WLAN connectivity. Microsoft is investigating these issues and advises users to hold off on installing the update if they haven't done so yet. For those who have installed it, they can uninstall it via Windows Recovery or through the Settings menu.
