04 Pranks

Screens for harmless mischief

BSODs, fake updates, broken glass, and TV static. Convincing enough to get a reaction, easy enough to escape with a single click.

Start with the BSOD See all prank screens

Prank

Blue Screen of Death

A pixel-perfect Windows Blue Screen of Death. Set it up before you walk away from a friend's laptop. Click anywhere to escape — they don't need to know that.

Prank

Windows 11 fake update

The cleaner, rounded-corner Windows 11 update screen. Same long percentage crawl, more modern panic.

Prank

Broken screen

A web of convincing cracks rendered right on the glass. Great for short videos, photo composites, or a really mean April Fool's.

Prank

Hacker screen

A green-on-black terminal that pours out code as fast as you can mash the keyboard. Look like a movie hacker, or leave it running on a friend's screen.

Prank

White noise screen

A flickering noise field with optional audio. Channel old-TV static, kill silence at a film shoot, or do the most retro practical joke around.

Prank

Black Screen of Death

The newer, even more confusing relative of the BSOD. Almost no text, just a blinking cursor — perfect for the briefest, most alarming silence.

Prank

Windows 10 fake update

A pixel-perfect Windows 10 update screen, complete with the slow percentage crawl. Set it up before someone's coffee break for maximum effect.
