OBJECT1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Later object manager initialization failure for OBJECT1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

OBJECT1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED is bug check code 0x00000062. This code is a phase-specific object-manager startup failure. It suggests that core object namespaces, types, directories, handles, or reference-tracking structures could not be initialized consistently.

How to read it in a dump

  • Use the failing stack to identify the object manager subphase.
  • Check for early memory corruption, system hive problems, or boot-start drivers that affect object namespaces.
  • This is not a normal application handle leak.

What to check

  • Check boot-start drivers, endpoint/security filters, and kernel file integrity.
  • Compare with OBJECT_INITIALIZATION_FAILED if both appear across attempts.
  • Use verifier only after the system can boot or in a controlled reproduction.

Dump evidence

Preserve the complete dump, the four bug-check parameters, the exact Windows build, loaded-module list, and the event timeline immediately before the stop. AllStat summarizes the condition as “this result”; that sentence identifies the failure class, while the parameters and stack determine which object, driver, processor, or subsystem instance was involved.

Analysis order

  • Run WinDbg !analyze -v, then inspect the documented meaning of each parameter instead of relying only on the probably-caused-by line.
  • find the earliest abnormal event: driver update, firmware change, device reset, storage error, verifier report, resource exhaustion, or application hang connected with object1 / initialization.
  • keep third-party filter, security, storage, graphics, and virtualization drivers in the module inventory; removing evidence before dump analysis can obscure the responsible path.

Do not repeatedly reboot a machine affected by this result before collecting the dump and event logs. Recovery actions should follow the component identified by the stack and parameters, not merely the symbolic stop-code name.
