If you’re experiencing a BSoD and can’t get to the desktop, Windows 10 will likely go into automatic repair and allow you to choose a system restore point … if one has been created, that is. For the latter, Microsoft simply instructs users to check for updates and to remove any new hardware on older PCs.
Right now the QR code leads to a general blue screen error troubleshooting page that includes getting an error while updating to Windows 10, after an update has been installed, or while using the PC. This is usually accompanied by the actual code, which, in the case of this Reddit user, was “MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH.” That means he crashed Windows 10 on purpose to get the BSoD again and take this image. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you,” the BSoD typically reads with a large frowny face pasted above. “Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. In this case, they head straight to Microsoft to explain the BSoD error. They can be scanned in using the camera on a smartphone or tablet, and typically send the customer to a product page on the Internet. If you don’t know what a QR code is, it’s that little box of black and white square dots, a matrix barcode if you will, that can be found on product labels in stores, on product boxes, in the newspaper, in magazines, and more. But one Reddit user noticed a little feature that wasn’t revealed in the Anniversary Update announcement during BUILD 2016: the addition of a QR code on the BSoD screen.
The company launched Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316 to participants in the Fast ring on April 6, and with it a number of features slated to be included in the Anniversary Update release planned for this summer.
However, Microsoft seems to have made this process a little bit easier in the latest release of Windows 10. Users can either quickly write down the error message and wait for the computer to restart, or immediately load up a browser on a smartphone, tablet, or another computer to perform a Web search of the error. While the appearance of the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) has seemingly decreased with the launch of each new Windows platform, it still appears nonetheless and requires the end-user to look up a code on the Internet to investigate the cause.
