Goodbye Blue Screen of Death. Hello Black Death in Windows 11

By DigiconAsia Editors | Wednesday, July 2, 2025, 3:37 PM Asia/Singapore

Goodbye Blue Screen of Death. Hello Black Death in Windows 11

Here is more unexciting-news for people around the world dreading or resenting the imminent forced upgrade to Windows 11…

Among the most notable changes in the next major release of Windows 11 — version 25H2 — is the retirement of the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD), replaced with a black “unexpected restart” screen that still displays the stop error code.

This change, prompted in part by the global 2024 CrowdStrike BSoD incident, is intended to improve system recovery and will also allow antivirus and endpoint protection vendors to operate outside the Windows kernel, with new tools arriving in private preview in July.

Other than this major change, no major overhaul have been seen in the beta versions, and Windows 11 version 25H2 is officially announced by Microsoft to have the same source code as last year’s 24H2 release aside from an “enablement package” that new users may select optional features from.

This approach means the update will feel more like a feature unlock than a full operating system refresh, and compatibility between the two versions should remain unchanged. Microsoft’s own release dashboard acknowledges that Windows 11 24H2 has encountered several compatibility and stability issues since its launch, leading to compatibility holds for affected hardware and software. The shared codebase means that any unresolved issues from 24H2 will persist in 25H2, but so will existing compatibility.

According to Jason Leznek, Principal Project Manager, Windows Servicing and Delivery: “Windows 11, version 24H2 and version 25H2 share the same source code, with only the additional features turned on. Therefore, there should be no impact on compatibility between the two.”

The 25H2 update is already available to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel and will roll out to the general public in the second half of 2025 through a streamlined enablement package, which Microsoft asserts will simplify the upgrade process for those already on 24H2. The new release will begin a fresh support cycle upon general availability.
