How Windows 10 wants to make the Blue Screen of Death useful

MWEB GameZone writes: "The BSOD has been part of a part of a PC user’s nightmares since Windows NT 3.1.In older versions of Windows, the BSOD showed 'Critical Error' messages and a long string of code that average users had no clue what to do with.

Here is how Microsoft’s Windows 10 will finally have a BSOD that could actually help users when the Windows 10 Anniversary Update launches."

Nice, that's actually useful.

Yeh great initiative by Microsoft there. They keep on improving an already solid OS, excellent :)

sonicwrecks2939d ago

This is one of those times where you sit back and think, yes, why DIDN'T you do this before. This will help reduce a lot of frustration for users.

Windows 10 upgrade notifications will stop trying to trick you

People should upgrade to W10, don't get why they wouldn't want it.

KingPin2862d ago

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.

and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.

on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.

Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.

Grap2861d ago

"Win 10 is horrendous"
by that statement i know you haven't fully used it.
I get people who don't use it for spyware service reasons and i sympathies with them, but in no way of shape or form W10 is less than W8 or even 7, MS really outdo them selves with W10 and if it weren't of their spyware service i would say it's even better than XP.

I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.
