You may receive a STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE error or a stop error when you try to close an HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT handle or an HKEY_PERFORMANCE_NLSTEXT handle from a kernel mode device driver
SYMPTOMS
When you try to close the predefined HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT
registry handle or the predefined HKEY_PERFORMANCE_NLSTEXT registry handle from
a kernel-mode device driver, a 0x00000093 stop error occurs or you may receive
a STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE error.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when a kernel-mode driver opens the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\language ID registry key. In this
registry key,
language ID is the associated language ID. The operating system returns the
predefined HKEY_PERFORMANCE_TEXT registry handle or the predefined
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_NLSTEXT registry handle. If you try to close either of these
predefined handles, you may receive a STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE error. However, if
a kernel debugger is running, the operating system may invoke a stop error that
has an INVALID_KERNEL_HANDLE (0x00000093) error code.
STATUS
This
behavior is by design.
