The blue screen of death is officially old-school now that Windows 7 is reportedly serving up the black screen of death stemming from one of the latest security patches. With “millions” potentially affected, it may be time to put any auto-updates for Windows on hold until this gets sorted out or risk a potential full re-install.
Microsoft has confirmed that it is investigating a problem described as the “black screen of death”, which affects its latest operating system.
The error means that users of Windows 7 see a totally black screen after logging on to the system.
The firm said it was looking into reports that suggest its latest security update, released on Tuesday 25 November, cause the problem.
