application exception
0xC000041D FATAL_USER_CALLBACK_EXCEPTION
A callback into user code threw an exception Windows would not let continue — often UI frameworks or plugins during a window message. Treat it like an application bug with a strong hint that a third-party hook is involved.
What to do about it
- Update the program and any shell extensions / overlays.
- Disable recently added Explorer or Office add-ins.
- Check Event Viewer → Application for a richer .NET or application error at 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.

Drop the program's .wer report or crash dump into the app-crash reader — the faulting module is usually the real story. Parsed locally.
