Microsoft (MS) will replace the 'blue screen' that appears on computers running the Windows operating system in the event of a system error.
According to a report from U.S. CNBC on the 26th (local time), MS announced through a blog post that it plans to use a black screen instead of the blue screen that appears when a computer unexpectedly restarts.
The black screen is set to be implemented on devices that apply the Windows 11 24H2 feature update this summer.
MS stated that by changing the screen, it aims to simplify the user experience upon restart and make computer recovery easier and faster.
The blue screen has been a symbol of Windows computer errors, and MS has been using the blue screen since the early 1990s.
Last July, when a security program distributed by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike collided with MS Windows, causing widespread damage, blue screens appeared on 8.5 million devices worldwide, causing them to stop functioning.
MS also announced plans to update the user interface (UI) to align with the Windows 11 design and reduce downtime during restarts to about 2 seconds.
MS added that this plan is part of ongoing efforts to reduce confusion during unexpected restart situations.
