WINBIO_E_DATABASE_WRITE_ERROR

WINBIO_E_DATABASE_WRITE_ERROR means the storage adapter could not persist a template or database change. It can appear during enrollment commit, deletion, or adapter maintenance.

What to check

  • Check free space, write permissions, device availability, and storage-adapter diagnostics.
  • Verify whether the enrollment actually committed before retrying so that a duplicate template is not created.
  • For an on-sensor database, check the sensor’s internal storage and its firmware or driver status.
