I have a Windows 10 machine where some UI process runs happily for days until it silently exits without any visible exception. I have enabled ETW tracing but pretty much all call stacks come up with ???? marks. I suppose there was no proper ETW provider rundown happening in this process. After enabling Process Destruction call stacks I have found that one
[Root]
ntoskrnl.exe!KiPageFault
ntoskrnl.exe!KiInitiateUserApc
ntoskrnl.exe!KiDeliverApc
ntoskrnl.exe!KiSchedulerApcTerminate
ntoskrnl.exe!PsExitCurrentUserThread
ntoskrnl.exe!PspExitThread
ntoskrnl.exe!PspExitProcess
Does this indicate a page in error so I should suspect a hardware failure of the hard disc or memory?
I have found a failed file io request at that time:
The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device.
(0xc0000010) = Event SubType, FSCTL = Event Type, C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.ServiceModel\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.ServiceModel.dll
which makes me think that the hard disk has an issue.
