WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CANT_OPEN

WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CANT_OPEN means WBF found the expected database configuration but the storage adapter could not open it. The cause can be an unavailable backing store, permissions, an incompatible database, or driver failure.

What to check

  • Check the accessibility of the database backing store and any vendor service that supplies it.
  • Correlate the error with device or driver upgrades that may have changed template storage compatibility.
  • If the failure affects only one unit, compare its driver and storage configuration with a working unit.
