We are struggling with some apparently-random crashes in our PB2019_R3 application Windows 10 clients.

In addition to being random, not all clients are reporting this issue. 

The faulting module is either pbdwe.dll or pbtheme.dll. Error code is either 0xc000041d (which translates most likely to "An unhandled exception was encountered during a user callback") or 0xc0000005 (which translates most likely to "Access violation"). 

Runtime version 19.2.0.2670.

I have looked into other posts here with regards to the error codes mentioned above. Magnifier does not cause the application crash in our case. Neither do other cases apply. 

We have tried to run the .exe in compatibility mode in windows 8, did not seem to help.

Is there any one with the knowledge of internals of pbdwe.dll or pbtheme.dll to point in which direction we should move us to localize and eliminate the culprit here? Is there any way to localize method name, or such?

Any suggestions on how we could proceed with troubleshooting this?

I have now spend some time with the crash dumps. Is there any symbol files for pb* dlls? WinDbg would like to have symbol files for e.g. pbvm.dll, pbshr.dll, but seems to get some information without them. 

I am very interested in what in dwTableAggrSortCmp can cause APPLICATION_FAULT_NULL_CLASS_PTR_READ_INVALID_POINTER_READ_NOSOS, or FATAL_USER_CALLBACK_EXCEPTION. Hoping that it could shed a light in the right direction.

It looks like both exceptions (0xc0000005, and 0xc000041d) have same call stack. 

Reason I am interested in this is according to WinDbg, the call stack seems like this when the exception occurs:

pbdwe!dwTableAggrSortCmp+0x12479

My first thought is to deploy EVERY DLL that comes with the runtime version of PB and see if that resolves the issue as it's possibly a missing DLL that is causing the problem. I know you said the crash is random. Still, doing this eliminates a primary source of abends.

In your PB.INI that is deployed with your app, please try the following:

[Data Window]
Accessibility=0

[DataStore Behavior]
UseHwnd=no

Here is full documentation on the PB.INI options: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022/pbug/PBINI_settings.html

This has not resolved the issue. It still crashes. Any other pointers?

I would compare Windows OS settings between machines that crash and machines never crash. I think it is environment issue/conflict.
