Now, they face various problems like crashes, buggy system operations, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blue_screen_of_death\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BSOD<\/a> (black screen of, death), etc. This article provides the best methods to fix Windows 11 Black Screen of Death (errors sent, BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors have been a nightmare for Windows from the past to the present users.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft first saw these errors in Windows 3.0 and continued to see them until Windows 10, meaning blue screen errors have been around for over a decade. Over the years, BSOD errors have changed in one way or another, but they still appear (with or without the amount of bug checking) and pose a threat to Windows users.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Microsoft is changing the popular blue screen of death (BSOD) to black in Windows 11. Read this article to learn how to fix the black screen of death in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<h3>The Blue Screen of Death will now be black in Windows 11<\/h3>\n<p>In Windows 11, Microsoft changes the BSOD screen from blue to black. The software giant started testing design changes in the new operating system in June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, for now, the preview version of Windows 11 includes a green BSOD error. Green has been used in Windows Insider builds since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>With the Windows 10 Insider build, several Reddit users reported experiencing the green screen of death and even the red screen of death errors due to hardware issues. However, the Windows 10 system crashes with a blue screen primarily due to Windows&#8217; history, registry issues, and RAM failure. To some extent, several users find familiarity with the blue screen somewhat comforting.<\/p>\n<p>This is also said to be the first significant change to the BSOD since the addition of the sad face to the screen in Windows 8, 2012, and QR codes until 2016:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-87395 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Windows-11-BSOD-error-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Blue Screen of Death will now be black in Windows 11\" width=\"668\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Windows-11-BSOD-error-1.jpg 668w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Windows-11-BSOD-error-1-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recently, we have come across several queries regarding Windows 11 BSoD errors. Several users who have installed this new OS on their PC are facing errors due to compatibility issues with the Intel driver and MSI (Microsoft Installer).<\/p>\n<p>This error affects the application&#8217;s update or repair. Microsoft confirms that Windows 11 has some compatibility issues with specific versions (10.29.0.5152 and earlier or 10.30.0.5152) of Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST).<\/p>\n<p>Intel and Microsoft are working on a new version of drivers that are compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/what-is-windows-everything-you-need-to-know-2023\/\">Windows<\/a>. However, no official solution has been provided. So, how do you fix a BSoD error? Do not worry! We have listed some tested and easy ways to fix BSoD errors in Windows 11, along with common reasons.<\/p>\n<h3>Reasons for the black screen of death error in Windows 11<\/h3>\n<p>Before we get into how to fix it, we need to know what causes a BSOD.<\/p>\n<p>You may not get BSOD errors with some troubleshooting, but you can google and find out why it&#8217;s happening on your system.<\/p>\n<p>Discovering the root cause of this error may not be easy because there may be several reasons, like hardware failure, driver issues, software or program incompatibility, faulty system files, etc. Hence, we have come up with solutions and keep every possible reason in mind. Let&#8217;s begin!<\/p>\n<p>Caution: Some of the methods discussed may cause data loss. So, if you cannot backup your system data, use reliable data recovery software to recover data from the Windows system affected by BSOD.<\/p>\n<p>If you can, boot your computer into safe mode to avoid problems when troubleshooting the black screen of death error.<\/p>\n<p>Boot Windows 11 in. Please restart your computer and restart it when it shows you the Windows logo on the monitor screen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Repeat this twice, and then your system will start the repair environment.<\/li>\n<li>There, click on Advanced options &gt; Troubleshoot &gt; Advanced options &gt; Startup SettClick click.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-87398 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/on-Troubleshoot-screen-select-Advanced-options-and-then-select-Startup-Settings-2.jpg\" alt=\"Reasons for the black screen of death error in Windows 11\" width=\"624\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/on-Troubleshoot-screen-select-Advanced-options-and-then-select-Startup-Settings-2.jpg 624w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/on-Troubleshoot-screen-select-Advanced-options-and-then-select-Startup-Settings-2-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then click on Restarstem, and press F4 to enable safe after restarting the system mode.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-87401 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/once-your-system-restarts-press-f4-to-enable-safe-boot-3.jpg\" alt=\"Then click on Restarstem, and press F4 to enable safe after restarting the system mode.\" width=\"573\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/once-your-system-restarts-press-f4-to-enable-safe-boot-3.jpg 573w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/once-your-system-restarts-press-f4-to-enable-safe-boot-3-264x300.jpg 264w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that you are in safe mode, you can follow the methods below to remove the BSOD error.<\/p>\n<h3>Method 1: Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Type Windows Memory Diagnostic in the Windows search box and open it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, click Restart Now and check for problems (recommended).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-87404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/select-restart-now-and-check-for-problems-4.jpg\" alt=\"Next, click Restart Now and check for problems (recommended).\" width=\"407\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/select-restart-now-and-check-for-problems-4.jpg 407w, https:\/\/ded9.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/select-restart-now-and-check-for-problems-4-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The system will reboot, and the test will begin.

It also allows you to create bootable media to recover data from a damaged, unbootable, or BSOD-damaged Windows system.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft is making many changes to the design of Windows 11; one is changing the color of the BSOD error screen from blue to black. However, the reasons for the Windows 11 black screen error may be the same as discussed above. So, we have shared pre-approved methods to troubleshoot the black screen of death error in Windows 11.
