CID_HANDLE_CREATION
Process/thread client ID handle creation failure for CID_HANDLE_CREATION
CID_HANDLE_CREATION is bug check code 0x00000016. Client IDs identify processes and threads. This bug check points at a failure or corruption path while the kernel creates the handle bookkeeping for a process or thread identity.
How to read it in a dump
- The relevant objects are process and thread executive structures, handle tables, and security callbacks.
- Do not diagnose it as a normal CreateProcess or CreateThread failure unless the dump shows that path.
- Pool corruption or callback-driver interference can be more important than the numeric argument values.
What to check
- Check process/thread notification callbacks and security products.
- Inspect handle table and object manager state in the dump.
- Enable verifier for drivers that monitor process creation or inject callbacks.

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 cid / handle / creation.
- 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.
