application exception

0xC000010A PROCESS_IS_TERMINATING

The process was already shutting down when something tried to use it — often a secondary symptom after another crash or a forced kill, not the root cause.

What to do about it

  1. Look for an earlier crash report in the same minute — that one is the real story.
  2. Avoid killing the app from Task Manager mid-save.
  3. Update the program if this repeats on a clean exit path.

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.
