Windows 11 Green Screen of Death

If everything is OK, the official Windows 11 will be released in October this year. Now, the Windows 11 Insider preview build has been released to Insiders in both the Dev and Beta Channels. If you want to experience this new Windows version before others, you can join the Windows Insider Program and upgrade your computer to Windows 11.

Yes, I do it.

The Windows 11 Insider preview build is just the beta version. There should be many bugs in it. For example, I discover that I always come across Windows 11 Green Screen of Death every few days. I search this issue on the internet and find many users are bothered by it.

If Windows 11 goes to a green screen, what should you do to fix it? Now, we will show you some available methods.

Way 1: Restart Your Computer

The Windows 11 green screen always shows an error:

Your Windows Insider Build ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you.

You can also see a stop code like 0xc000021a, CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, etc.

Like the error message saying, after collecting information, your computer will restart. But according to my experience, the computer doesn’t automatically restart. If your computer is also like this, you can press the Power button for seconds to force close your computer. After that, you can press the Power button again to restart your device. In most cases, your computer should start normally.
