Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

        I dunno. Kernels can dump the memory pages and whatnot, surely they could throw in which ad got served at the time too. I’m sure someone up at Microsoft is smart enough to figure it out.

        I would imagine stats could be somehow stored and sent off once the problem is resolved

        dear user.

        thank you for your report.

        please be assured that even in the event of a bsod, windows will still report metrics back to microsoft so long as the system drive is operational for use as temporary storage of that data until the next successful windows boot.

        new OOB ad metrics reporting will also be added to intel ime and amd psp in future processors in order to further address your concern.
