C# System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Not enough storage is available to process this command

After running my application (.Net 4.5, 64-bit, WPF) a long time (one to two weeks) I encounter the following app crash:

Logging of the unhandled exception additionally showed:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Not enough storage is available to process this command

I already found a link with a basic description of the problem connect.microsoft.com on web.archive.org and I downloaded an ran the AtomMonitor from JordiCorbilla/atom-table-monitor (GitHub). Indeed I found an increasing number of RWM Atoms created by my application over time (approx 4000 after some days). This fits to the exception message. All strings look like the following:

C1FE = HwndWrapper[XY.exe;;b68ce81a-d29f-414b-b63a-3b6979e33dd3]  --RWM

From the exception message I see that a 'Popup' is causing a RegisterClassEx from within the OnIsOpenChanged method.

However, opening and closing several popups in my application and monitoring the count of RWM atoms in parallel, I can't see any increase, that's why I can't find the exact source of the problem. Just after some time, when looking at the statistics again I can see that the count increased.

So my questions are:

  1. Can a Popup be responsible for raising the count of RWM atoms? If yes, is this a bug? Why does it create a new Window and registers these atoms?

  2. Do I use the Popup in a wrong way? Do I have to close/dispose/release something?

  3. Is the Popup the problem at all?

  4. What is the 'normal' number of RWM atoms an application creates or should not exceed, because as far as I know they can't be deleted anymore.

After some research, I found the following: It was not related to popups or any "real" windows. Besides that, closing a popup releases the entry from the atom table.

The cause is: We create WriteableBitmaps on different tasks for image processing. Always when a new thread is used for this task (creating a WPF control), a Dispatcher gets created which in turn creates a HwndWrapper.

These resources are not released, if the dispatcher is not shutdown manually. Now we use the workaround from the following links:

GitHub: Win32Exception is thrown when WPF runs out of internal resources
