After more than 30 years in service, Microsoft has changed the colour of its famous blue screen of death (BSoD) to black for its new operation system, Windows 11.
Although not officially confirmed by the tech giant, the iconic and panic-inducing warning screen has been leaked in images.
BSoD appears when the operating system crashes and is no longer able to function – prompting fear and cold sweats for computer users that their work is lost forever.
As well as the new BSoD colour change, Windows 11, unveiled by Microsoft on June 24, includes a new 'Start' button and Android apps on the desktop for the first time
The new black screen of death matches the new black logon and shutdown screens, based on information from people with access to a preview of the software, according to the Verge.
'We're not entirely sure why Microsoft is changing the colour from blue to black, and the company isn't commenting on the change yet,' it reports.
A Microsoft spokesperson told MailOnline that the company has 'nothing further to share at this time'.
BSoD was introduced for Windows 3 back in 1990 and has since made a number of gradual changes – although it has kept the colour blue until now.

What next? A Jew screen of death?
Operation system?
Real genius writing there.
Meet BSOD same as the old BSOD only the color is different.
New version will turn to black and when you ask it to repair itself it will say “Sorry, Hal, I can’t do that...”
Blue Screens Matter
How racist of them.
My favorite haiku:
The blue screen of death
Windows crashed, Your files are gone
No one hears your screams
Blatantly racist!
Another O/S tech breakthrough.
Now I just need some new hardware to run it.
This is considered an “update” in MSWorld.
BLACK SCREENS OF DEATH MATTER!!!
DANG!
Dave
Like the end of the Sopranos.
Should have picked a dayglo color, just to push the annoyance to the max.
Ping.
What happened to Windows 10 being the last OS version? That’s what Microsoft claimed upon its release, stating that 10 would be perpetually updated into the future.
This is actually a good move on Microsoft‘s part as it shifts the blame away from their software.
Person sees a blue screen: “@#$& Microsoft! They did it to me again!”
Person sees a black screen: “What the hell is wrong with this monitor screen?”
So it’ll give the appearance of a BIOS fail — brilliant.
When the white bsod shows up I assume there is a conflict with my anti-virus program but, haven’t seen that in years
