Windows is changing its famous blue error screen to black. This change is part of a bigger plan to make Windows more reliable. Last year, a big problem called the CrowdStrike incident caused many Windows computers to crash. Now, Microsoft wants to make sure this doesn't happen again. The new error screen is simpler. It has a black background and a shorter message. It also shows a percentage to track the restart process. This change will be available on Windows 11 later this summer.
Microsoft is also adding a new feature called quick machine recovery. This feature will help fix problems faster, especially during big outages. It will be available on Windows 11 later this summer too. The new error screen is part of Microsoft's efforts to make Windows more user-friendly. It's a small change, but it could make a big difference.
