application exception

0xC0000194 POSSIBLE_DEADLOCK

Windows suspected the program locked itself waiting forever — classic UI freeze that ends in a kill, or a driver/plugin holding a lock. The dump helps developers; for users, updating and removing injects is the practical path.

What to do about it

Update the program.
Disable overlays and shell extensions.
If it freezes only when printing or scanning, update those device drivers.

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.
