SESSION2_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
SESSION2_INITIALIZATION_FAILED has value 0x6E. Its first bug-check argument is the NTSTATUS that made Windows conclude initialization could not continue, while the remaining three documented arguments are zero.
Use repeated status values to classify the failure
If several 0x6E dumps carry the same parameter 1 on the same Windows build, treat that stable status as a strong clue and inspect the stack that returned it. If the status changes between crashes, memory corruption or multiple initialization failures becomes a different hypothesis from one fixed prerequisite.
Keep SESSION2 separate from neighboring codes
SESSION1, SESSION3, SESSION4, and SESSION5 are separate bug-check values. Microsoft does not document them as interchangeable aliases. Preserve the 0x6E code and its NTSTATUS when searching symbols, logs, or a known issue; a generic “session initialization” label throws away the useful part of the crash record.
