For starters, the screen will now be black instead of blue, a change that Microsoft briefly attempted to make in the early days of Windows 11 but subsequently rolled back.

Surely you jest. This reads like one of those "hilarious" imaginary dialogues you often find in online comment sections, which look like this:

R. Developer: Mr. Ballmer, sir!
S. Nadella: Yes? I mean, stop calling me that!
R. Developer: Sorry! I've just thought of a way to eliminate blue screen of deaths!
S. Nadella: Will it use more resources? Will you need to write dozens upon dozens of lines of code?
R. Developer: No and no.
S. Nadella: Hơw effective is this? 3%? 5.2%?
R. Developer: 100%.
S. Nadella: Well, then, go ahead. I'll talk with PR straight away. Imagine! No more blue screen of deaths!
Developer #2: That's impossible.
R. Developer: Not at all.

The unexpected restart screen has been "simplified" in a way that "improves readability and aligns better with Windows 11 design principles, while preserving the technical information on the screen for when it is needed."

Goodness.

How could anyone possibly improve the readability of a BSoD while preserving ALL OF THAT technical information?
