stop code errors

Stop code errors on Windows 11 version 24H2 and later now appear on black screens with the message "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart," according to Microsoft's July 28 support guidance. This distinction matters because a black screen without a code, or one showing only a cursor, follows a different troubleshooting path. Microsoft's support page consolidates basic actions for repeated crashes, including removing newly added hardware, booting into Safe Mode, inspecting Device Manager, and keeping 10% to 15% free disk space. These steps help users and support desks address stop code errors effectively, distinguishing them from display failures.
