Microsoft has announced the retirement of the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), which will be replaced by a black screen in the upcoming Windows 11 update. This change is part of a shift in Microsoft's approach to system errors, aiming for a more modern and minimalist design. The new black screen is expected to enhance readability and simplify unexpected reboots, although it has sparked debate regarding the removal of the QR code for troubleshooting. The new interface is anticipated to debut in late 2025.
