RECOM_DRIVER

Legacy RECOM driver failure for RECOM_DRIVER

RECOM_DRIVER is bug check code 0x00000084.

This bug check name is a historical driver bucket. It is useful only when the dump stack or loaded-module list identifies the specific driver path that raised it; the name alone does not identify a modern Windows subsystem.

How to read it in a dump

  • Arguments and symbolic name are secondary to the crashing module and stack.
  • Treat it as a driver-originated stop unless the dump shows a more specific subsystem.
  • Avoid writing a root cause from the constant name alone.

What to check

  • Start with !analyze -v and lmvm for the suspect module.
  • Check whether an old or vendor-specific driver is loaded.
  • Use Driver Verifier if a reproducible driver path is identified.
