I have to admit I haven't fact-checked this on my own but I have it on fairly good authority that several versions of Windows could swap themselves out, sometimes resulting in a bluescreen.

Windows has ALWAYS asked the user which processes to kill under memory stress, except in the most extreme of conditions (when it crashed). Android and iPhones thought they'd look cooler if they didn't, resulting in a decade of endless frustration for many users.

  Note that I was talking about writing processes to swap, not killing them!

    Yes indeed, I'm pretty sure that explorer.exe can or could get swapped out. I don't think that can result in a bdod though
