Latest Windows 10 build displays QR Codes on crash

A slightly more helpful BSOD?

While adding an emoticon to the crash screen might make people feel slightly better, but it probably doesn't help them making meaning of an unexpected BSOD. The newest Windows 10 build apparently offers something a little (ok, only a little) more practical: QR Codes.

The feature was spotted by Redditor javelinnl on the Windows 10 forums, and takes users to a generic "Stop Code" landing page with basic diagnostic tips. The URL, windows.com/stopcode, is also displayed as normal text for those that prefer their URLs the old fashioned way.

What other "hidden" Windows 10 features have you seen? Do you think the latest updates could help reduce your help desk headaches?
