BlueScreenSimulatorPlus

If you have been using the computer for quite some time, then there is a good chance that you witness at least one blue screen of death (BSOD). BSOD typically happens when Windows encounters a critical error that prevents the operating system from running.

While it is true that this is not something you want to see on your PC, some people are interested in triggering it for various reasons, such as testing, learning or troubleshooting. If you want to trigger BSOD and be able to do a few extra tricks while you are there, then you might want to consider trying BlueScreenSimulatorPlus.

The application is as simple as it gets and you can get started by launching the executable. You are prompted by a message screen that recommends not using the tool for anything other than screenshotting blue screens, testing or reviewing purposes, learning about different BDOS on various operating systems or even pranking a friend, because let’s face it, that would be fun.

Obviously, you can also trigger the blue screen via the classic way, but that entails modifying the registry, which is not really recommended unless you know what you are doing. There are other methods to trigger BSOD intentionally, namely typing TASKKILL /IM svchost.exe /F in your console or holding the right-most Ctrl key and pressing Scroll Lock key twice.

Given the nature of the tool, the developer puts emphasis on not using it for harmful purposes, such as setting it up on your computer to get out of doing a work task, for instance. Providing that you plan to use it for its designated purposes, BlueScreenSimulatorPlus is an easy to use tool that emulates the notorious blue screen in Windows so that you can take snapshots, learn or test.
