ERROR_NDIS_ADAPTER_REMOVED

ERROR_NDIS_ADAPTER_REMOVED The adapter is no longer available. It may have been physically disconnected, disabled, surprise-removed, reset through Plug and Play, or replaced by a new interface instance.

What to check for ERROR_NDIS_ADAPTER_REMOVED

  • Check Device Manager and the System log for removal or bus-level events.
  • Release handles and outstanding requests that refer to the removed instance.
  • After the adapter returns, rediscover it rather than reusing stale interface state.

Microsoft: NDIS status values

Microsoft: netsh trace

Microsoft: !ndiskd.netadapter

Diagnostic discriminator: Confirm that the NDIS adapter still exists and is bound when the request is issued. A removed adapter is an object-lifetime condition; changing policy parameters cannot make the stale adapter handle valid again.
