The APC_INDEX_MISMATCH bug check has a value of 0x00000001. This indicates that there has been a mismatch in the APC state index.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code
If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss. A hardware device, its driver, or related software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows came with your computer, call the manufacturer of your computer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact info for Microsoft or your computer manufacturer, Contact Support.
If you have experience with computers and want to try to recover from this error, follow the steps provided in the Microsoft article Resolving STOP (Blue Screen) Errors in Windows.
These actions might prevent an error like this from happening again:
- Download and install updates and device drivers for your computer from Windows Update.
- Scan your computer for computer viruses.
- Check your hard disk for errors.
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
1 |
The address of the system function (system call) or worker routine. |
|
2 | The value of the current thread's ApcStateIndex field. |
|
3 |
The value of current thread's CombinedApcDisable field. This field consists of two separate 16-bit fields: (Thread->SpecialApcDisable << 16) | Thread->KernelApcDisable. |
|
4 |
Call type (0 - system call, 1 - worker routine). |
Cause
The most common cause of this bug check is when a file system or driver has a mismatched sequence of calls to disable and re-enable APCs. The key data item is the Thread->CombinedApcDisable field. The CombinedApcDisable field consists of two separate 16-bit fields: SpecialApcDisable and KernelApcDisable. A negative value of either field indicates that a driver has disabled special or normal APCs (respectively) without re-enabling them. A positive value indicates that a driver has enabled special or normal APCs too many times.
Remarks
This is a kernel internal error. This error occurs on exit from a system call. A possible cause for this bug check is when a file system or driver has a mismatched sequence of system calls to enter or leave guarded or critical regions. For example, each call to KeEnterCriticalRegion must have a matching call to KeLeaveCriticalRegion. If you are developing a driver, you can use Static Driver Verifier, a static analysis tool available in the Windows Driver Kit, to detect problems in your code before you ship your driver. Run Static Driver Verifier with the CriticalRegions rule to verify that your source code uses these system calls in correct sequence.
