That's an interesting update! Replacing the iconic blue screen of death (BSOD) with a black screen of death (black SOD) can serve to modernize the look and possibly reduce anxiety or alarm associated with system crashes. Additionally, Microsoft's efforts to enforce stricter rules on third-party security software aim to improve overall system stability and security, especially by preventing problematic updates and drivers from causing system failures.
Windows now enforces stricter rules on third-party security software, drivers, and updates. This is to prevent poorly designed or malicious software from destabilizing the OS, which can lead to system crashes.
