Since the launch of Windows 95, many things in the Microsoft operating system have changed completely, and at the same time, others have not changed at all; Windows 11 continues to use some elements and applications that have been with us decades, for example.
On many occasions, Microsoft has not been able to change those things for a matter of compatibility with old programs and services; In others, it has been a conscious decision to offer a feeling of familiarity. A good example of the latter is the blue screenshot of death, or Bsod for its acronym in English; It appears always that Windows meets a serious problem during execution, which cannot be solved and requires a system restart.
Actually, the blue screenshot has been changing in each Windows generation; The current version, for example, in addition to an error code that we can search on the Internet, shows a QR code That can be scanned with a smartphone to find more information. But what all blue screenshots have in common is that, which are blue; That can change soon.
Microsoft is experiencing with new designs on the error screen, and the latest update of the previous version of Windows 11 launched yesterday introduces a redesign that will speak; especially, because Windows’s blue screenshot may no longer be bluealthough the final color has not yet been selected.
In Microsoft’s words, the Windows error screen has been “Optimized” and fits better with “Windows 11 design principles“. That assumes that such information is no longer shown, and that the experience has been simplified; for example, the QR code is no longer shown, perhaps because most people do not use it. In the same way, elements that have not served at all or that did not fulfill an exact function, such as the emoticon of the sad face that is large on the current blue screen.

The new error screen focuses on showing a simple warning message, with the phrase “Your device found a problem and needs to restart”; Despite the changes, the generated error code continues to be shown, including the file that has caused the error. In this way, the user will have only the necessary information to know what has happened, and the error code should be a clue to find the solution.
But without a doubt, what has caught the attention of users is that the capture that Microsoft has shared Show a green screenshot. That has taken many people, including some media, to conclude that the blue screenshot will change color.
Actually, the previous version of Windows 11 You have always had a green error screento easily differentiate it from the errors produced in the final version of the system. The previous version of Windows is unstable and usually has more ‘bugs’ than the version used by most people, so an own color screen helps Microsoft to differentiate errors.
However, it is true that Microsoft has been thinking about changing the color of the blue screenshot for a while; The company has already experienced with a black screenin addition to a green screen. Therefore, it is perfectly possible that the error screenshot remains blue when it arrives in a future Windows 11 update, or that Microsoft finally hit the jump to a new color.
