WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CANT_CLOSE

WINBIO_E_DATABASE_CANT_CLOSE means the storage adapter could not close a database cleanly. This can occur while flushing state, releasing a handle, or finalizing an enrollment transaction.

What to check

  • Look for a preceding write, I/O, lock, or connection error; this code is often a follow-up failure.
  • Ensure application sessions are closed only after pending biometric operations complete.
  • For a vendor adapter, investigate resource cleanup and handle ownership rather than ignoring the close error.
