post crash prompt

About this tag
The post crash prompt is a new Windows 11 feature that appears after an unexpected restart caused by a bug check (BSOD). It offers to schedule a quick Windows Memory Diagnostic scan on the next boot to check for RAM faults that may have caused the crash. This consent-driven prompt surfaces as a sign-in notification, allowing users to run a pre-boot memory diagnostic to detect memory corruption early. The feature is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to improve system reliability by helping users identify hardware issues that can masquerade as software or driver problems.
