Direct3D doesn't, but the kernel can eat exceptions if 32-bit code triggers an exception from a user mode callback on a 64-bit system. Rendering code is vulnerable to this when triggered from a WM_PAINT message. The call SetProcessUserModeExceptionPolicy() is needed to override the default behavior: https://code.google.com/archive/p/crashrpt/issues/104 https://code.google.com/archive/p/crashrpt/issues/104 It was introduced in a Windows 7 update and documented in a knowledge base article that has since been removed instead of the regular Win32 docs, so information on it is harder to find these days.
