What this value means
The local Windows en-US message table describes this value as: “The process creation has been blocked.”
ERROR_CHILD_PROCESS_BLOCKED is a Win32 system result, usually returned to an application or API caller. It is not a Windows blue-screen code or a diagnosis of the whole PC.
| Code | 367 |
|---|---|
| Hex form | 0x16F |
| Symbol | ERROR_CHILD_PROCESS_BLOCKED |
| Windows family | Win32 system codes |
| Source level | Windows en-US message resource |
Safe next steps
- For 367 (ERROR_CHILD_PROCESS_BLOCKED), record the service or process name, the attempted operation, and the related event time.
- Check whether a dependency, pending restart, or application-specific component is involved before changing service configuration.
- On managed systems, use the service owner or IT support path instead of disabling security services.
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
This wording came from the local Windows en-US system message table. The symbolic name is from the source dataset’s historical Boost mapping; a matching current Microsoft web pair was not found in the checked lists. Verify the exact number and applicability on the affected device.
If the result differs from the documented message or a repair could remove data, stop and use the official source or vendor support.
