And windows shows it for a few seconds, never enough time to pick the phone.

Agreed. Probably the only One of the good thing about the win98 BSOD is that it crashed/froze along with the computer, and the PC required a hard reboot. Yeah, I know, not intentional, but it allowed me to fully read the message.

Edit: crossout

You have to disable auto reboot on bsod

This should be the default option when the blue screen happened, giving users chance to scan the QR and find out about the causes before they can try restarting their PC

Most users don't want to immediately troubleshoot every error, they want to get back to work. The ones that do know how to find it in event viewer or the crash dumps or disable auto reboot on bsod.
