STATUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR

A driver reported an internal I/O failure

STATUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR (0xC0000183) is returned when driver code detects an internal failure but has no more specific NTSTATUS that accurately describes it. The status therefore identifies the reporting layer, not the root cause.

Preserve the first driver, device stack, IRP or request context, and any earlier kernel or device error. A later STATUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR may only be the point where the driver stopped after a lower-level invariant or device operation had already failed.

What to check

Identify the driver that returned the status and the operation it was processing.
Check System and device-specific logs for an earlier storage, bus, firmware, or driver error.
When debugging, inspect the failing request and stack before retry or recovery changes the state.
