Microsoft’s technical cause notes add: The most common cause of this bug check is when a file system or driver has a mismatched sequence of calls to disable and re-enable APCs. The key data item is the Thread > CombinedApcDisable field. The CombinedApcDisable field consists of two separate 16-bit fields:…

Safe next steps

  1. For 0x00000001 (APC_INDEX_MISMATCH), record the exact stop code and parameters. Microsoft’s debugger reference may describe a kernel condition rather than a consumer fix.
  2. If crashes repeat, inspect the dump locally with official WinDbg and compare its parameters with this code’s Microsoft page.
  3. Do not enable Driver Verifier or change firmware as a generic first step; ask qualified support if the PC cannot start.

After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.

What this code cannot prove

The source establishes the identifier and reference meaning. It does not establish the cause on your specific PC.

If Windows no longer starts or the issue repeats with hardware warnings, protect files and use manufacturer or qualified support.
