Application Verifier break message

WSACleanup aborted and closed existing SOCKET handles underneath the code that owned those SOCKETs

Probable cause

WSACleanup was called, decrementing the Winsock reference count to 0, while SOCKET handles were still open in the process. Winsock closes any open SOCKET handles when the reference count reaches zero. This is typically a bug in the component that decrements the Winsock reference count too often (by calling WSACleanup unbalanced with WSAStartup) or incorrectly tracks (leaks) SOCKET handles.

Troubleshooting steps

Enter k to find the caller that decremented the WSAStartup/WSACleanup count to 0.
