SYMPTOMS
When a User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) driver that uses the Windows SideShow class extension processes a command asynchronously, the class extension may return a false error without fully processing the command. This problem may occur when the incoming input/output control (IOCTL) is not passed to the class extension component immediately. This problem may also occur when the IOCTL is from a sequential queue.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the developer’s driver impersonates outside the scope of the original OnXxx callback. When this happens, the impersonation fails. This failure can cause the driver to return an incorrect error. To correctly handle incoming IOCTLs, the SideShow class extension component requires successful use of impersonation.
