How to get more info out of the uninformative Windows 8 BSOD?
So Windows 8 has this new consumer-friendly STOP error screen where half the display is taken up by a frowny face, and what few technical details are provided are in a very fuzzy font that hurts my eyes.
I'm not a consumer, and I don't want to see frowny faces. I want to see the detailed error description and stack traces. Is it possible to re-enable detailed technical error messages on screen? If so, how?
(If not, details remain available after loading the crash dump into windbg and issuing the !analyze command... assuming of course that the crash didn't prevent writing a dump file to disk. For failures of the NTFS filesystem or disk driver stack, dumping the data on-screen remains the only viable way to make it available.)
Microsoft provides instructions for re-enabling the original detailed BSOD screen on Technet. Updates may be required for this to work correctly.
