PROFILER_CONFIGURATION_ILLEGAL
Illegal kernel profiler configuration for PROFILER_CONFIGURATION_ILLEGAL
PROFILER_CONFIGURATION_ILLEGAL is bug check code 0x0000017B.
This bug check points at kernel profiling or tracing configuration that the system rejected as unsafe or inconsistent. It should be read as a configuration and instrumentation problem, not as a normal application performance issue.
How to read it in a dump
- Identify active kernel profilers, ETW sessions, sampling sources, and performance counter configuration.
- The failure can be caused by unsupported sampling mode, bad buffer setup, or incompatible profiling flags.
- Third-party profilers and security tools can be involved if they program low-level counters.
What to check
- Disable or update the profiler or monitoring driver that is active in the dump.
- Check ETW/perf counter configuration and recent tracing changes.
- Reproduce with symbols and verifier if a driver programs processor performance facilities directly.
