WININET_E_FORCE_RETRY

WININET_E_FORCE_RETRY is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that the current action did not complete and WinINet requires the caller to retry it. The retry should follow the documented operation flow and must not become an unbounded loop.

What to check

Record the operation state and any preceding status or dialog result before retrying.
Retry only a bounded number of times and only when repeating the request is safe.
For state-changing requests, use an idempotency mechanism or confirm whether the server might already have processed the operation.
