On Windows 10, the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) — also known as "blue screen," "stop error," or "system crash" — could happen after a critical error occurs that the system cannot handle and resolve automatically.
You will typically experience a blue screen error during the Windows 10 upgrade process, when the computer boots up, or randomly when actively using the device. Also, as we have seen with the recent CrowdStrike incident, you can come across this error after installing a buggy update. The most annoying part is that you'll only see a solid blue background and a sad kaomoji without enough information to determine the real cause of the problem.
