application exception

0xC0000602 FAIL_FAST_EXCEPTION

The program requested an immediate shutdown after detecting an unrecoverable internal state — a deliberate crash, cousin of 0xC0000409.

What to do about it

  1. Update the program.
  2. Disable injected software (overlays, tweak tools) as a test.

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.
