What Is Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)?

The Blue Screen of Death, also known as the BSOD, is quite a nasty surprise that pops up on Windows Operating System when something goes seriously wrong. These mishaps can cause your computer to restart out of the blue, possibly causing any unsaved work to disappear. What you’ll typically see in this case is an error message saying something to the effect of, “Oops, your PC just ran into a problem and has to restart. We’re just gathering some error info, then we’ll restart for you.”

Microsoft outage

A massive global outage crippled operations of airlines, banks and businesses across the world on Friday following an update from a third-party software platform on devices running Windows 10. Microsoft said it is aware of the issue and assured a resolution is forthcoming.

“We’re aware of an issue affecting Windows devices due to an update from a third-party software platform,” a Microsoft spokesperson said.

Airline ops hit
The outage put operations of businesses and systems across the globe in a state of limbo with airports and airline operations facing significant disruptions. Several users reported disruptions on outage-tracking website Downdetector, and many took to X (now twitter) to vent their frustration on the ‘Blue Screen of Death’ error messages.

However, the country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) said its systems are unaffected by the Microsoft global outage. Stock exchanges NSE and BSE too said they are not impacted due to the global outage of Microsoft systems.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that IT ministry is in touch with Microsoft regarding global outage, and added that NIC network is not affected.

CERT to issue advisory
In a post on X, IT minister Vaishnaw said that the reason for this outage has been identified and updates have been released to resolve the issue.

CERT is issuing a technical advisory, he wrote. “MEITY is in touch with Microsoft and its associates regarding the global outage… NIC network is not affected,” the minister said.

Meanwhile, CERT-In has issued an advisory on the Microsoft outage caused by Crowdstrike update, and rated its severity as “critical”.
