Windows 11’s crash screen may look familiar, but the reasons behind the crash and the route to recovery are rarely simple — this feature walks through practical, verified BSOD (and the newer black crash‑screen) troubleshooting, consolidates the basic steps Guiding Tech outlines, and layers in...

Windows 11 machines that should shut down but instead loop into a restart are a maddening — yet fixable — class of problems, and the simplest remedies usually live in your power configuration and a few targeted system checks. Background Windows 11 introduced incremental changes to startup...

Microsoft quietly ended one of Windows’ most enduring visual warnings this summer: the Blue Screen of Death — the cobalt banner that for decades signaled catastrophic system failure — has been replaced with a streamlined black “unexpected restart” screen as part of Windows 11’s ongoing...

Microsoft’s switch from the familiar Blue Screen of Death to a minimalist black crash screen has drawn attention — and a fresh wave of questions from Windows 11 users who now confront the so‑called Black Screen of Death. This change is cosmetic in part, but it also comes bundled with new...

Microsoft’s Windows 11 24H2 rollout has already spawned two separate storage headaches: an earlier compatibility surge that produced looping Blue Screens of Death (BSODs) on certain Western Digital and SanDisk NVMe drives, and a later August 12, 2025 cumulative patch (KB5063878, OS Build...

The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED blue screen is one of those Windows errors that looks frightening but, in most cases, can be diagnosed and fixed without replacing hardware — provided you approach it methodically and understand what the stop code is telling you. This article breaks down...

A use‑after‑free bug in the Windows kernel has been reported under the identifier CVE‑2025‑49761 and is described by Microsoft as an elevation‑of‑privilege vulnerability that can allow a local, authorized attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges; administrators should treat the advisory as urgent and...
