ERROR_SXS_CORRUPT_ACTIVATION_STACK
ERROR_SXS_CORRUPT_ACTIVATION_STACK — The current thread activation-context stack is corrupt.
This is primarily a developer-facing error. Activation contexts are pushed onto a stack for the current thread; a corrupted stack usually means incorrect lifetime, cross-thread use, or unbalanced activation/deactivation calls.
It is not normally fixed by installing another runtime. Debug the code that creates and switches activation contexts, or update the component that contains it.
What to check
- Pair every successful ActivateActCtx call with a matching DeactivateActCtx call on the same thread.
- Preserve and use the activation cookie returned by ActivateActCtx.
- Use a scoped/RAII guard so exceptional paths cannot skip or duplicate deactivation.
