Windows 11 Blue Screen with QR Code

When encountering the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) in Windows 11, users will see a QR code in the bottom-left corner of the screen. This QR code is intended to help users access troubleshooting resources online, although it often directs them to a general Microsoft support site. To address a BSOD, users can scan the QR code, run the Blue Screen Troubleshooter via the Get Help app, utilize built-in Windows troubleshooting tools, update device drivers, perform a system restore, or reset/reinstall Windows 11. Specific steps include scanning the QR code with a smartphone, searching for troubleshooting options in the Get Help app, using tools like Memory Diagnostic and CHKDSK, updating various drivers, and accessing System Restore through the Windows Recovery Environment if necessary. If all else fails, users can reset or reinstall Windows while choosing to keep personal files.
