access violation
Unauthorized memory read
An access violation is a computing error that occurs when a program attempts to read or write memory it doesn't have permission to use.
The operating system blocks the unauthorized access and typically terminates the offending program.
Users encounter access violations as crashes or error messages: The application closed unexpectedly due to an access violation.
Often caused by bugs in software rather than hardware problems.
