QR code for Blue Screen of Death - Windows 10.


           Microsoft is bringing many new features to #Windows 10 by its Anniversary update. There has been already a cool feature added i.e. Ubuntu BASH for Windows 10. Recently there has been a news about a new cool feature.

            If you are the user of Windows then you will be aware of the famous #Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). It happens whenever Windows encounters a critical error which can be either software or hardware.

            Traditional way of BSOD is with the information of Physical dump of memory but now the GUI has been modifed which will display the information Your PC ran into a problem with a sad smiley in it.

            The only way of getting rid of this problem is to reboot the system and now it has been customized with new feature.

            A QR code will be displayed in the BSOD and it can be scanned using any device with QR code reader. Scanning the QR code will give more information to the reader. Details about the error it encountered will be displayed.

            The information serves several purposes such as it can be used to learn more about the error and the other is that it can be used to contact Microsoft support.

            The feature is yet to be released in Windows 10 along with Anniversary update. The Anniversary update has many features like this and Ubuntu BASH.

P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
