The BSOD, commonly known as the blue screen of death, is typically blue, as shown in the image. However, besides blue, there’s also the GSOD or green screen of death, initially introduced exclusively for Windows Insider users during the fast and slow ring era.
In addition to the blue and green screens, Microsoft has recently introduced the black screen of death, featuring a black background. Its design is similar, displaying emojis, QR codes, and error-related information, but its rollout seems sporadic and limited to a small group of insider users.
Interestingly, the Blue Screen of Death is reportedly changing again, reverting to a black background. This time, however, the design has been entirely overhauled.

As seen in the image above, the new black screen of death appears simpler, omitting QR codes and emojis that were present in previous versions.
At first glance, this black screen resembles a Windows update screen, potentially confusing users unfamiliar with encountering a blue screen of death.
If Microsoft indeed implements this change to replace the existing BSOD, it will mark a significant shift, altering the iconic blue screen appearance we’ve known for years.
However, this new design could pose challenges for IT administrators, especially with the absence of a QR code linking to diagnostic information about the error.
As of now, this change remains a rumor, and Windows 11 continues to display the traditional Blue Screen of Death during system failures. Should this redesign be implemented, users hope Microsoft will provide clearer details about its functionality.
