I realize BSOD is no longer nearly as common as it once was, but let's not forget that Windows used to be very fragile indeed.
- Wobbles42 8mo agoIt was more fragile 20 years ago than it is today. It was more robust 5 years ago than it is today. Or at least that's been my impression. I can't back that up with hard data.
- lesostep 8mo ago>> I realize BSOD is no longer nearly as common as it once was Anecdotally, installing wrong drivers (in my case it was drivers for COM-port STM32 interaction) could make it as common as twice a day on Win11. While my windows server 2008 still doing just great, no BSOD through lifetime. I agree that for a common user BSOD is now less likely to happen, but wonder whether it's less to do with windows core, and more with windows defender default aggressive settings
