SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION: recorded condition

SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION has value 0x00008866 and identifies application-health classification. For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, the SAVER family is used as a diagnostic classification; public parameter semantics are not available for this value, so the producer, dump type, and accompanying event payload define how it must be read.

Evidence that matters for SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION

Preserve WER health record, process lifetime, crashes, hangs, activation failures, resource history, and app-model events. Correlate the unhealthy classification with the first concrete failure and determine whether it is persistent across clean launches.

  • For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, record the exact Windows build, process or package identity, module versions, capture timestamp, and component that requested the report.
  • For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, determine whether the artifact is a live kernel dump, application dump, WER report, test-harness result, or a true system bug check before choosing debugger commands.
  • For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, follow the stack and provider-specific fields back to the operation that stopped progressing; the symbolic bucket is a routing clue rather than a root-cause verdict.

What distinguishes SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION

The bucket describes application health; it does not by itself distinguish exception, hang, dependency failure, or policy rejection. For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, compare neighboring SAVER values only after the evidence above identifies the same producer and lifecycle stage; similar-looking names can describe different capture triggers.

Recovery after evidence collection for SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION

Preserve the original dump and logs before restarting the affected process or machine. For SAVER_SICKAPPLICATION, A restart may restore service, but durable recovery requires correcting the component, dependency, resource limit, firmware, or application state demonstrated by the captured evidence.
