Windows 10 OpenGL BSOD, "Kernel Mode Trap"

Question

So, I'm building a default context in OpenGL, (Without extensions) and for some reason, as soon as my window opens, I BSOD with an "Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap"

Now, this is pretty default. As I've just used the startup VS 2015 Community win32 application, and applied the OpenGL context code verbatim. Which includes a message box which supposedly should show me my OpenGL version (4.4). However, it opens blank, and upon closing, when it should open the OpenGL CS_DCOWN window, I BSOD.

Just wondering if anyone has insight as to what command is specifically causing the BSOD, or if my practices are wrong?

I come from a mostly Direct3D9 background.

Answer 1

As far as I understand, GetDC should fail, because there's still no client area created for this window - the first window message is WM_NC_CREATE, and this is too early for client area manipulation.

You may execute D3D code only after WM_CREATE.
