How to Use

1

Choose a Windows Version

Select which Windows BSOD style you want to display. Pick the version that matches the target computer for the most convincing prank.

2

Customize the Error

Optionally customize the BSOD appearance:

  • Custom Title - Replace the default error message with your own text
  • Stop Code - Choose from 10 real Windows error codes or enter a custom one
  • Progress Speed - Set how fast the "collecting error info" percentage counts up. Choose "Stuck" to freeze it at a low number
3

Set a Timer (Optional)

Use the Auto Trigger to add a delay before the BSOD appears. This gives you time to hand the device to your friend before the screen turns blue. Options range from 5 seconds to 60 seconds.

4

Launch

Click the Launch BSOD button. The screen will go fullscreen and display the fake BSOD.

How to Exit: Press the Esc key 3 times quickly (within 1.5 seconds) to exit the BSOD and return to the settings screen. This hidden exit ensures the prank looks convincing while giving you an easy way out.

Progress Animation

The "collecting error info" progress percentage animates realistically with irregular increments, just like a real Windows crash.

Normal Mode

Progressive Counting

  • Counts from 0% to 100%
  • Irregular speed increments
  • Four speed options
  • Realistic animation
Stuck Mode

Frozen Progress

  • Freezes at 5-30%
  • Simulates complete freeze
  • More convincing prank
  • Random low percentage

Auto-Trigger Timer

Set a countdown delay so you can prepare the prank. Perfect for handing the device to someone before the BSOD appears.

  • Delay options from 5 to 60 seconds
  • Countdown overlay shows remaining time
  • Cancel button if you change your mind
  • Automatic fullscreen activation

Fullscreen Mode

The BSOD automatically enters fullscreen mode for maximum realism. Right-click context menu is disabled to prevent accidental exits.

Browser Compatibility: Some browsers require direct user interaction to enter fullscreen mode. If your browser blocks it, the BSOD will still display as a full-page overlay covering the entire screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this damage my computer?

No. This is a purely visual simulation that runs in your web browser. It does not interact with your operating system, modify any files, or change any settings. It is completely safe.

  • No system files modified
  • No settings changed
  • No data collected
  • Runs entirely in browser

How do I exit the blue screen?

Press the Esc key 3 times quickly (within 1.5 seconds). This will close the BSOD and return you to the settings screen.

Why this method? The exit method is intentionally hidden to make the prank more convincing. A visible exit button would ruin the illusion.

Why doesn't fullscreen work?

Some browsers require a direct user interaction (like a button click) to enter fullscreen mode for security reasons. If your browser blocks it, the BSOD will still display as a full-page overlay covering the entire screen.

Supported browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (with varying fullscreen support)

Can I use a custom error message?

Yes. Use the Custom Title field to enter any text you want. This allows you to create personalized pranks or funny messages.

  • Enter custom text in the Custom Title field
  • Leave empty to use default Windows error message
  • Text appears on the BSOD screen
  • Works with all Windows versions

What does "Stuck" progress speed do?

Instead of counting up to 100%, the progress percentage freezes at a random low number (between 5% and 30%). This simulates a computer that is completely frozen, which can be more convincing than a moving progress bar.

A frozen progress bar at 12% looks more like a real system crash than one that smoothly counts to 100%.

— UX Design Principle

Does the QR code on Windows 10/11 BSOD work?

No, the QR code is randomly generated to look realistic but does not link to any website. It is purely decorative to match the authentic Windows 10/11 BSOD appearance.

Visual Only: The QR code is part of the visual simulation and serves no functional purpose. It's there to make the fake BSOD look more authentic.
