As part of that effort, Microsoft says it’s \u201cstreamlining\u201d what users experience when encountering \u201cunexpected restarts\u201d that cause disruptions. And that means a makeover to the infamous error screen.<\/p>\n
Beyond the now-black background, Windows’ new \u201cscreen of death\u201d has a slightly shorter message. It’s also no longer accompanied by a frowning face \u2014 and instead shows a percentage completed for the restart process.<\/p>\n
Microsoft says this \u201csimplified\u201d user interface for unexpected restarts will be available later this summer on all of its Windows 11 (version 24H2) devices.<\/p>\n
And for PCs that may not restart successfully, Microsoft on Wednesday also said it’s adding a \u201cquick machine recovery\u201d mechanism. The will be particularly useful for during a widespread outage, the tech giant noted, as Microsoft \u201ccan broadly deploy targeted remediations\u201d and automate fixes with this new mechanism \u201cwithout requiring complex manual intervention from IT.\u201d<\/p>\n
Microsoft said this quick machine recovery will also be \u201cgenerally available\u201d later this summer on Window 11 \u2014 with additional capabilities set to launch later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of that effort, Microsoft says it’s \u201cstreamlining\u201d what users experience when encountering \u201cunexpected restarts\u201d that cause…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[745,3168,16990,16991,16992,11825,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-17598","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-computing","9":"tag-health-insurance","10":"tag-medical-debt","11":"tag-open-enrollment","12":"tag-preferred-provider-organization","13":"tag-prescription-drugs","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114752359290641083","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
