This is a simple Bluescreen Simulator for Windows with lots of customizable features. It will not crash your PC; it just displays a full screen window.
- Press F7.
- If that does not work, try Fn+F7.
- If that does not work either, click anywhere once, then try F7 and Fn+F7 again.
- By now, you should have exited the screen. This absolutely has to work.
Sometimes, BluescreenSimulator (and especially its generated EXE files) will be flagged as malware by several anti-virus programs (Avast, AVG, Norton, McAfee, Windows Defender, etc.), this, however, is a false positive.
3 things cause this to happen: a) Because the program executable isn't signed b) Some antiviruses detect this as a joke program (which it is) c) The keyboard hook used to inhibit key presses looks suspicious to many heuristics
If downloaded from our(!) GitHub, the program is safe to use (we cannot give this promise if you download it from somewhere else!). It is okay if you do not trust us; you can always go ahead and compile it yourself.
