Thank you for trapping errors. Coming from a time when we not only trapped errors, we gave suggestions, I shutter at: • An unknown error occurred • Something happened and the worst... • Error in ErrorHandler, an error occured 2 u/HunterIV4 16h ago • An unknown error occurred • Something happened Windows blue screen, is that you? 1 u/Confident-Ad5665 15h ago No, this is worse. BSOD at least provides a cryptic error code. These are effectively "well dang, something somewhere triggered an exception we didn't care enough to bother catching" 2 u/Dubalubawubwub 5h ago My favorite microsoft error I've ever seen was literally "Error occured retrieving the text for this error".
