It’s an easy and harmless way to prank friends, lighten the mood at work, or capture hilarious reactions. You just need to reveal the prank before anyone gets too worried.

How to Tell If The Windows 10 Fake BSOD Is Just a Prank

The Windows 10 BSOD might seem serious at first, but sometimes it’s just a fake screen made to trick you. Here’s how to tell if it’s a real crash or just a prank:

  1. Test with Keyboard Shortcuts

Try pressing some common keys to see if your computer responds:

  • Press ESC to exit full-screen mode.

  • Use ALT + TAB to switch between open windows.

  • Try CTRL + W or CTRL + F4 to close a tab or window.

If any of these work, you're not dealing with a real crash. It's a fake screen.

  1. Look for an Exit Icon at the Top Center

Move your mouse around, especially toward the top-center of the screen. If an exit (X) icon appears, it’s just a prank. On a real BSOD, the mouse pointer doesn’t move or interact at all.

  1. Check If the Screen Restarts Automatically

A real Windows 10 BSOD usually restarts your PC after a short time. But if the screen stays completely still with no change, it’s probably fake. Someone’s trying to fool you.

  1. Right-Click to Check for a Browser Menu

Right-click anywhere on the display. If you get a browser menu like “Back” or “Reload”, then it’s definitely a prank. Real BSODs never show menus when clicked.
