application exception

0x80000003 BREAKPOINT

The program hit a debugging breakpoint with no debugger attached — the developers left an assertion in, or the program deliberately stopped after detecting an internal problem.

What to do about it

  1. Update the program.
  2. Report to the developer — this code is aimed at them.

Where you will see this

Windows Error Reporting writes this code into Report.wer files and app-crash minidumps when a program dies but Windows itself stays up. It is not a blue-screen stop code — for those see the stop-code library.

See which module threw this exception

Drop the program's .wer report or crash dump into the app-crash reader — the faulting module is usually the real story. Parsed locally.
