SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED is bug check 0x71. As with the documented SESSION initialization family, parameter 1 contains the NTSTATUS that led Windows to stop initialization, and parameters 2 through 4 are zero.
Make the NTSTATUS the lookup key
Record the full first argument before translating it. Search and compare failures using both 0x71 and the decoded NTSTATUS; that pair carries more information than the stop-name text alone. The Microsoft page does not publish a SESSION5-specific subsystem or stage map.
Use the dump to find the component boundary
Inspect the stack for the routine that returned, propagated, or checked the failing status. Then correlate only the relevant boot, driver, registry, or storage evidence with that component. A broad repair aimed at every initialization subsystem is not justified by this code.
