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.
