OS_DATA_TAMPERING

Operating-system data tampering

OS_DATA_TAMPERING is bug check code 0x00000155.

This bug check belongs to OS integrity protection. It indicates that protected system data was modified or failed validation in a way Windows treats as tampering.

How to read the parameters

  • The dump, stack, and integrity component involved decide whether the issue is memory corruption, malicious modification, boot/integrity policy, or a faulty security driver.
  • It is different from ordinary access denied errors because protected OS data has already failed integrity expectations.
  • Recent kernel drivers and security products are important evidence.

What to check in the dump

  • Check Secure Boot, VBS/HVCI, kernel-mode security products, recent driver installs, and memory corruption signals.
  • Preserve the full dump; minidumps may not contain enough memory around the protected data.
  • Do not “fix” by disabling protections before identifying the component that wrote or corrupted the data.
