Bug Check 0x1AA: EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK
The EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK bug check has a value of 0x000001AA. This BugCheck indicates that exception dispatch crossed over into an invalid kernel stack. This might indicate that the kernel stack pointer has become
corrupted during exception dispatch or unwind (e.g. due to stack corruption of a frame pointer), or that a driver is executing off of a stack that is not a legal kernel stack.
[!IMPORTANT]
This topic is for programmers. If you are a customer who has received this error code while using your computer, see Troubleshoot blue screen errors.
EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
1 |
A pointer to the current stack. |

3 |
A pointer to the context record representing the context that was |
4 |
Supplies an exception record representing the active exception that was being dispatched. |
Cause
An attempt to access an invalid stack occurred. As a kernel stack is limited in size, the developer needs to be careful with tracking it limits, for example when using it to copy blocks of video memory. For information about the Windows Kernel stack, see Using the Kernel Stack.
Resolution
Using a full kernel dump or an attached debugger, the following commands may be useful to gather information and track down the code that is incorrectly accessing memory.
First use the !analyze command to gather information, in particular the bug check parameters. Also examine the faulting source line and module name, if available.

BSOD (черный/синий экран смерти) — это экран ошибки, отображаемый ОС Windows, когда она сталкивается с фатальной системной ошибкой, приводящей к неожиданному выключению или перезапуску системы. Технически известный как Проверка ошибока Ядро Эррор или а Стоп-ошибкачерный экран часто предоставляет полезную информацию, такую как код ошибки и имя ошибки, что позволяет пользователям и администраторам изучить масштаб этой конкретной ошибки и исправить ее соответствующим образом.
В этой статье основное внимание уделяется стоп-ошибке EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK. Если вы видите черный экран EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK (0x000001AA) при попытке установить Windows 11, вот несколько советов, которые помогут вам решить эту проблему. Некоторые пользователи также сталкивались с этой ошибкой в виде синего экрана при использовании ПК с Windows 11.
Проверка ошибок EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK имеет значение 0x000001AA. Этот BugCheck указывает, что отправка исключений перешла в недопустимый стек ядра. Это может означать, что указатель стека ядра был поврежден во время отправки или раскрутки исключения (например, из-за повреждения стека указателя кадра) или что драйвер выполняется вне стека, который не является допустимым стеком ядра.
Если вы видите ошибку EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK (0x000001AA) в Windows 11, то, в зависимости от вашего случая, вы можете попробовать следующие предложения:
- Проверьте аппаратную совместимость вашего ПК с Windows 11.
- Сбрось оперативную память и попробуй.
- Используйте альтернативные методы для установки Windows 11.
- Запустите онлайн-устранение неполадок с синим экраном.
- Дополнительные предложения см. в Руководстве по ошибкам остановки Windows.
Давайте посмотрим на это подробно.
1]Проверьте аппаратную совместимость вашего ПК с Windows 11.
Начните с проверки того, подходит ли ваша система для обновления до ОС Windows 11. Microsoft предлагает инструмент проверки работоспособности ПК, чтобы проверить, соответствует ли ваш существующий ПК или ноутбук с Windows 10 необходимым системным требованиям для запуска Windows 11.
- Нажмите на значок поиска, расположенный в области панели задач.
- Введите «проверка работоспособности компьютера».
- Выберите Проверка работоспособности ПК из списка результатов.
- Нажмите на кнопку Проверить сейчас.
- Проверка работоспособности ПК выполнит всестороннюю проверку соответствия требованиям и покажет, что этот компьютер соответствует требованиям Windows 11, если он обнаружит, что ваш компьютер совместим.
Если вы не видите это сообщение, возможно, несовместимость оборудования вызывает ошибку остановки EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_STACK. В этом случае вы можете обновить свой компьютер или остаться с существующей ОС Windows 10.
2]Сбросьте ОЗУ и попробуйте
Неисправная оперативная память также может вызвать появление черного экрана. Попробуйте очистить кеш памяти, чтобы освободить оперативную память в вашей системе. Перезагрузка ПК с Windows 11/10 — это самый простой способ сбросить оперативную память. Используйте традиционный способ выключения Windows. Как только вы вынимаете вилку из розетки, оперативная память начинает терять свои данные. Когда вы снова запускаете Windows, оперативная память сбрасывается до нового состояния. Отключите быстрый запуск и периодически очищайте файл подкачки, чтобы убедиться, что ваш компьютер полностью выключен.
3]Используйте альтернативные методы для установки Windows 11.
Попробуйте альтернативный метод, например средство создания носителя, помощник по установке Windows 11 или загрузочный носитель, чтобы обновить систему. Инструмент создания носителя позволяет выполнить обновление до Windows 11 или создать установочный носитель (флэш-накопитель USB/DVD/файл ISO) для выполнения чистой установки Windows 11. Другой способ принудительно загрузить и быстро установить обновление до Windows 11 — использовать Помощник по установке Windows 11.
Читайте также: Объяснение фиолетового, коричневого, желтого, оранжевого, красного экрана смерти.
4]Запустите онлайн-устранение неполадок синего / черного экрана
Microsoft предлагает онлайн-средства устранения неполадок для исправления ошибок синего экрана и ошибок черного экрана в Windows 11. Средства устранения неполадок работают как мастер, помогая начинающим пользователям исправлять ошибки синего/черного экрана. Запустите средство устранения неполадок и следуйте подробным пошаговым инструкциям. Точно зная, когда вы впервые столкнулись с ошибкой, средство устранения неполадок может помочь решить проблему за вас.
5]Дополнительные предложения см. в Руководстве по ошибкам остановки Windows.
И последнее, но не менее важное: обратитесь к Руководству по ошибкам остановки Windows, чтобы понять и исправить ошибку ядра. Руководство предлагает исчерпывающую информацию о некоторых из наиболее распространенных ошибок остановки Windows. Он не только описывает ошибку, но также предлагает возможные исправления, выделяя при этом причины ошибки.
Если ничего не помогает, вам может потребоваться проанализировать файлы дампа стоп-ошибки с помощью WhoCrashed или другого программного обеспечения Crash Dump Analyzer для дальнейшего устранения неполадок.
Синий экран смерти исправляет себя?
Обычно ваша Windows автоматически перезагружается в случае появления синего экрана. Перезагружая компьютер, Windows пытается решить проблему самостоятельно. Хотя иногда этого не происходит, и вы постоянно получаете синий экран. В этом случае вы должны записать код ошибки для дальнейшего изучения и решения проблемы.
Могу ли я выключить компьютер во время синего экрана?
Синий экран создает полезные дампы, которые используются для анализа основной причины проблемы. Так что лучше не выключать принудительно, пока на экране не появится код ошибки. После отображения кода ошибки вы можете нажать и удерживать кнопку питания в течение нескольких секунд, чтобы избавиться от синего экрана.

Users have been excited to take advantage of Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system, but due to its complex system, issues can occur at any second. The Exception on Invalid Stack error is a great example.
Some Windows 11 clients reported that unexpectedly, their PC crashed and failed to boot up, after displaying the error Exception on Invalid File.
In today’s guide, we will show you three different methods to fix the error, as well as how to avoid it in the future.
What causes the Exception on Invalid File error?
➡ Corrupted system files are by far the most common reason why you get an invalid file type of error, yet there are still other possible reasons why you could be experiencing the current issue.
A corrupted file is one that is damaged and does not perform as it should. This can apply to any type of document, from program files to system documents. You will most definitely encounter issues as such at some point or another in time.
Before we jump into the solution list, we must understand why the error appeared in the first place. Amongst the many causes that can lead to the Exception on Invalid File error, here are the three most common reasons you might encounter:
➡ Corrupted boot-related data is another possible reason for your problem. In this case, you will have to perform a System File Checker scan from the Advanced Options Menu or write a few lines in the Command Prompt to fix the corrupted configuration data.
➡ Bad drive sector is the next possible reason why you get the error above. What this means is one of your drives is starting to fail. But don’t panic! If the damage is minimal, you can get away without changing the drive. Running the CHKDSK utility will replace all the sectors that went bad with unused sound equivalents.
We prepared for you a list of recommended solutions that you must try out before you decide to reinstall Windows 11 altogether.

What to do if the exception on invalid file error persists?
If your PC still fails to boot, it is pretty clear that you need to replace all the Windows files with new ones that aren’t corrupted.
To achieve this, you have to perform a clean install, which will definitely fix any underlying corruption issues that you have, but it will delete all of your personal documents as well. Unless you had backed up your data in advance, prepare to lose everything.
An alternative to losing your data is to perform a repair install which allows you to keep your personal documents on the same partition as your Windows installation.
How do I fix an Invalid File Name error?
Every file on your computer has a particular structure and content that it needs to comply with. When the information is in the right place and properly arranged, it will work normally.
But, if the wrong information is introduced voluntarily or involuntarily into a document, it will affect the way the data is used.
One aspect that you need to pay attention to is how you name your documents. When you try to save, create or rename documents, keep in mind a few rules in order to avoid errors such as an invalid file. Document names act as their ID and you can’t have two people with the same ID.
Another aspect to remember is the characters that you use. Control characters or forward slashes aren’t accepted in the name field of a document. The Windows operating system has additional rules that the filename needs to comply to:
- The filename can’t begin or end with a space or a period sign
- There are certain names reserved by Windows that can’t be used
- Any of the following characters must be avoided: double quote (“”), asterisk (*), less than (<), greater than (>), question mark (?), backslash (), pipe (|), forward slash (/), colon (:)
To fix an Invalid File Name error, you simply have to rename it keeping in mind the rules above, especially the colliding aspect of names.

Issue: How to fix Exception on Invalid Stack Black Screen error in Windows?
Hello. When I tried to install Windows 11, I received an Exception on Invalid Stack Black Screen error. What should I do?
Solved Answer
A Black Screen error (on previous Windows versions known as the Blue Screen error)[1] occurs when Windows encounters something known as a “STOP Error.” The error causes Windows to crash and stop working. This can lead to data loss as people do not have any time to save the work they have done.
Recently, Windows users encountered the Exception on Invalid Stack BSOD. Many people encountered the error when trying to upgrade the system to Windows 11, or do a clean install of Windows 11. It is unknown exactly why it appears. Generally, such errors are caused by missing core files, corrupt device drivers, memory or storage issues, and others.
