Did you know there was even a BSOD in Windows 10?
I guess there must be.

It seems Microsoft is trying to get to grips with the cryptic error codes we must have all seen at the point of a system crash. Instead of manually searching for the details of the error message, a QR code would give developers the details they require to fix the problem. I don't think that helps end users much more, but it might help the IT department get to grips with the issue.
General Windows 10 users won't see this new option yet. Microsoft only recently rolled out the new QR code and support format in a Windows 10 Insider build and it remains to be seen whether it becomes a generally used format for the blue screen.

Yes!

Except it is the BLACK Screen of Death.

I see it a couple of times a day, with a hardware problem which for the life of me I can't identify - even after using every hardware diagnostic tool available.

Sudden resets.
