application exception

0xC000013A CONTROL_C_EXIT

The process exited because someone pressed Ctrl+C or closed the console — often logged as a crash even though it was intentional. Check whether a script or service wrapper killed the app.

What to do about it

  1. Ignore one-off cases where you closed a console yourself.
  2. If a background service keeps dying with this code, check the script or task that launches it.
  3. Look at Task Scheduler history around the same timestamp.

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.
