Additional Information

For information about the PCR and the PRCB, see Microsoft Windows Internals, by Mark Russinovich and David Solomon.

Remarks

The processor control block (PRCB) is an extension of the PCR. It can be displayed with the !prcb extension.

Here is an example of the !pcr extension on an x86 target computer:

One of the entries in this display shows the interrupt request level (IRQL). The !pcr extension shows the current IRQL, but the current IRQL is usually not of much interest. The IRQL that existed just before the bug check or debugger connection is more interesting. This is displayed by !irql, which is only available on computers running Windows Server 2003 or later versions of Windows.
