application exception

0xC0000008 INVALID_HANDLE

The program used a file, registry, or device handle that was already closed or never valid — classic race in multi-threaded apps, or a broken plugin that closes something the host still needs.

What to do about it

Update the program and any plugins.
Avoid force-closing related apps mid-save.
If only one document triggers it, the file may be locked by another process — close other editors.

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.
