Windows 11 is bringing back the classic blue screen of death for when your PC stops working

Earlier this year it looked like Microsoft would permanently change the colour of its familiar, if dreaded, ‘blue screen of death’ (BSOD) on Windows machines from blue to black.

The BSOD is something of an institution in the Windows world, serving as the very clear signal that something has gone wrong with your PC. Over the years, Microsoft has updated the screen with more detail as to exactly what has gone wrong, but the screen has almost always been blue.

Microsoft never explained why it changed the error screen to black, but the company is rolling back that color change, with the a return to blue in a Windows 11 preview to Beta and Release Preview Channels.

Various software and hardware-related issues may occur after a Windows 10 update. One of these problems is that the Wi-Fi adapter is not working any longer for some users.

Namely, they reported that their computers weren’t even able to detect and recognize the wireless network adapter, which worked fine before. Don’t worry, we have plenty of solutions for this problem. If you can’t connect when using any device to the same network, try to troubleshoot the local network, starting with your router.

What can cause the Wi-Fi adapter to stop working?

If the Wi-Fi adapter is not working, you will either have to find an external Wi-Fi adapter to use temporarily or connect to a wired network. Either way, you will still need to troubleshoot the problem, so let’s see some common reasons for this issue:

➡ Malfunctioning drivers – Especially after an OS update you can encounter problems with the drivers that are not working properly. Updating them as revealed below will solve the issue.

➡ Improper settings – Some adaptor settings may have changed without warning and this can affect its functionality.

➡ The adapter is damaged – Although highly unlikely, if the problem coincides with a drop of your laptop, you might consider that this component is damaged.
