The microcode errors currently seem to display for the user regardless of whether it is actually relevant to the issue and regardless of whether the microcode even is outdated.

I suggest, instead of showing the full window error by default, showing one line in the error window - similar to the "don't send a screenshot of this" box.

Did you recently get a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) while playing Minecraft or other games? It is recommended to update your BIOS/UEFI. [Read more]

Your CPU may be the cause of some crashes. [Read more]

Maybe also include some heuristics before showing the message, aka whether the crash was a freeze and whether the crash log is a Java one (hs_...).
