The BSOD is an error message that appears with a blue screen, instead of pop-up window, which can amount to a more serious system error. In the worst-case scenarios, users might not be able to log in to Windows after blue screen errors. To troubleshoot BSODs, users will usually need to note down the error messages and codes contained within them. However, Microsoft has also added QR codes to BSOD error messages in Windows 10. Those are codes that direct users to website pages that provide troubleshooting details and potential fixes for the BSODs. Users can scan the QR codes with iOS and Android phone cameras, which will then redirect them to the blue screen of death webpages.
How can I use BSoD QR codes?
1. Scan the BSoD QR codes with an Android phone
To scan BSoD QR codes with Android mobiles, users need to add a QR scan app to their phones. To do that, open Google Play on an Android mobile.
2. Scan the BSoD QR codes with an iPhone
Apple iPhone users don’t need additional scan apps as their mobiles already incorporate built-in QR code scanners. When a blue screen of death error occurs in Windows, turn on an Apple iPhone. Thereafter, users can have a look through the potential resolutions provided by the blue screen of death pages. However, the QR codes might often link to Microsoft’s Troubleshoot blue screen errors webpage, which is a general troubleshooting page for BSOD issues. Users can open that page in their mobiles’ browsers without needing to scan QR codes. For more specific BSOD error pages, users can note down the error messages included in them; and then enter their error messages and codes in Google. So, it’s debatable how much use the QR codes really are. Nevertheless, the pages the QR codes link to might still include resolutions that will resolve BSOD errors for some users.
