Windows 11, 10: Fix CrowdStrike Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) after faulty driver update
Windows 11 is expected to get the original Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) instead of the new Black Screen of Death (BSoD). If you upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and encountered a critical error on the device, you probably noticed that the familiar blue screen has changed to a black color scheme. This is because Microsoft has updated the experience to match the new shutdown and login design.
However, the next monthly update (build 22000.346) for the original version of Windows 11 will change the color back to blue (via Windows Central), but the company does not specify the reason for this. The official notes state: "The screen color has been changed to blue when a device stops working or encounters a stop error, as in previous versions of Windows."
The Blue Screen of Death usually appears when the system encounters an error that it cannot correct. When an error occurs, the screen turns blue, the system creates a dump file, and displays an error code that network administrators can use to troubleshoot software and hardware problems.
