See stackoverflow.com/a/23293119/368552, basically you have an exception in your code (MyApplicaiton.exe) you are not catching, throw a try catch over in the app to see what it is. – Luke Hutton
I'm pretty sure my app catches every exception throws. – rANth
@rANth is everything inside your main() method contained in a try catch that logs the exception? How about all your thread starter methods? – hoodaticus
Try what the answer I linked to you said: There should be a minidump of the crash in DrWatson folders with a full stack, it will contain everything you need to root cause the issue. – Luke Hutton

I know this is old, but thought I'd post Luke's advice as an answer since it solved my problem.

As Luke mentioned in a comment above, the issue for me was an unhandled exception that was happening on startup. Once I wrapped the startup code in a try catch, I found the problem which was totally a bug in my app, nothing to do with kernalbase.dll or any other external dependency or reference.

I was building a WPF application in C# and packaging it using the MSIX packager/installer. Everything was fine until I updated Visual Studio to 16.10.2. Then something strange started to happen. The code would run perfectly in Debug and Release configuration but when I installed the application from MSIX it failed to run.

There were no coding errors.

The Event Log gave this error..

Faulting application name: [app name here], version: [app version here], time stamp: 0x609308e7

Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1023, time stamp: 0x924f9cdb Exception code: 0xe0434352 Fault offset: 0x0000000000034b89 Faulting process ID: 0xf3c Faulting application start time: 0x01d7659e116b2c8c

I tried almost everything but nothing seem to fix it. Then I noticed the the 'obj' folder had become huge, so I deleted it and low and behold that fixed the problem.
