VDS_E_INITIALIZE_NOT_CALLED

VDS_E_INITIALIZE_NOT_CALLED means that A hardware-provider initialization method was not called before another provider operation. This is primarily a caller or provider lifecycle problem: the object exists, but it has not entered the state required for the requested method.

What to check

Verify the provider initialization sequence and make sure the initialization call completed successfully before using provider-specific methods.
Do not reuse an object reference from an earlier failed initialization attempt without rebuilding the expected lifecycle.
When the failure comes from software you maintain, log the provider CLSID, method order, and HRESULT from the initialization call.
