application exception

0xC00000FD STACK_OVERFLOW

The program ran itself into an endless loop of function calls and ran out of stack — a program bug, sometimes triggered by a specific document or input. Common in apps that recurse over folders, XML, or deeply nested UI.

What to do about it

  1. Update the program.
  2. If it crashes opening one specific file, that file triggers the bug — report it to the developer.

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.
