ERROR_PROCESS_ABORTED

ERROR_PROCESS_ABORTED (1067, 0x0000042B) means that the service process terminated unexpectedly.

Difference from a reported service error

This code usually means that the Service Control Manager lost the process before it could complete normal service shutdown or report a final status. It can be caused by an unhandled exception, an explicit process termination, a fatal dependency failure, an external termination or other process-level faults.

What to collect

  • Check Application and System event logs for the service executable, Windows Error Reporting entries and service-control events.
  • Inspect the process exit code and any crash dump; the service status code may not contain the root cause.
  • For services that share one process, determine whether another service or the host process caused the termination.

A service restart may restore availability, but recurring 1067 events should be treated as an application or host-process failure.
