WPN_E_NOTIFICATION_DISABLED

Respect the setting; do not repeatedly prompt or attempt to bypass the block.
Use an in-app indicator when the user needs to know that external alerts are unavailable.

Microsoft documentation

Diagnostic interpretation

This result has the HRESULT value 0x803E0111. AllStat records the condition as “Settings prevent the notification from being delivered.”.

Evidence to capture

Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the wpn / notification / disabled operation.
Preserve the first failure in the call chain; a later HRESULT can describe cleanup rather than the original wpn / notification / disabled condition.

Retry and recovery

Treat WPN_E_NOTIFICATION_DISABLED as a checkpoint, not as a request to loop. Retry only after evidence shows that the rejecting state has changed, and verify the same scenario end to end.
