Microsoft to Prompt Memory Scans After BSOD Crashes

Microsoft is testing a new Windows 11 feature that alerts users to scan system memory following a blue screen of death (BSOD) crash. The prompt appears upon the next login, aiming to help users detect potential hardware or software issues that may have triggered the system failure. The initiative signals Microsoft to prompt memory diagnostics more proactively in response to critical system errors.

The new functionality is part of the latest Insider Preview build and is currently available to select testers. After a BSOD event, users will see a notification suggesting a memory check to identify possible causes. Microsoft plans to refine the feature based on user feedback before considering a broader rollout.

This development reflects Microsoft’s broader effort to prompt memory stability checks and improve post-crash troubleshooting in Windows 11. The company has not yet announced when the feature will be available to the general public.
