Microsoft will be adding QR codes to the "Blue Screen of Death"

I agree with that

Not if it's Malware posting fake BSODs and the codes are used then to ransomware or link to external sites.

fake BSODs have been a thing for years. TBH all the data Windows 10 collects on you is more of a security hazard than a QR code.

Again, that means it would have to bypass your anti virus software before that happens. At that point you are screwed anyways..

Hardly collects data. They collect much less than FB/Google/etc. It's the least of your worries tbh in comparison. In addition just disable it if you must.

its a good idea but both the QR and Hex should be available just so you know its a genuine BSOD.
GUI's are dumbing down users, who really wants to click something when you could spend more time typing into a command prompt
