Why does the WinDBG command “!error” not work as expected?

Question

It is very common for me to query the meaning of an NTSTATUS value.

However, I always get nothing by the WinDBG command !error like the following:

kd> !error 0xC0000008 1

Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xC0000008 - Unable to get error code text

Why does the WinDBG command !error not work as expected?

Thanks in advance.

PS. 0xC0000008 indicates STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE

Answer 1

Probably you should set locale for example: 0: kd> .locale ".1251"
