The original Blue Screen of Death (here seen in the Italian edition of Windows NT 3.51) first appeared in Windows NT 3.1. The first Blue Screen of Death appeared in Windows NT 3.1 [5] (the first version of the Windows NT family, released in 1993), and later appeared on all Windows operating systems released afterwards.
By far, this is the most famous screen of death. Black Screens of Death are used by several systems: One is a failure mode of Windows 3.x. One appears when the bootloader for Windows Vista and later fails. Also in Windows 11 previews the Blue Screen of Death was changed to black. [1]
