The screen shown when your computer freezes has been blue for over 30 years. But it Blue Screen of Death (blue screen of death, abbreviated as BSOD) has been Windows 11 suddenly black. Windows 11 appeared for consumers in early October.
The black design would better match the new login and shutdown screens in Windows 11, which are also black, was the statement from Microsoft
It was the first time in years that the BSOD in Windows was modified. But Microsoft is going to roll back the change in an upcoming update to Windows 11, reports the company in the release notes. No reason is mentioned. The update is expected to roll out in a few weeks.
Unnecessarily confusing?
The black screen may have caused confusion for users, writes The Verge. “Imagine system administrators trying to troubleshoot remote home workers. Black screens are more often associated with monitor issues, which is more confusing than the blue screen everyone is used to.”

Imported in 1990
The BSOD was first used in Windows 3.0 in 1990 and provides information primarily intended for IT professionals. The screen displays data that can be analyzed to determine the cause of a system error.
The crash screen has received almost no adjustments in recent years. In 2012, Microsoft added another sad face to the BSOC, and QR codes followed in 2016.
