MILERR_GENERIC_IGNORE

MILERR_GENERIC_IGNORE is a Windows Media Integration Layer (MIL) HRESULT. It indicates an internal marker for a Win32 error that the compositor is configured to ignore in the current path.

What to check

Inspect the associated Win32 error and compositor log entry to understand what was intentionally ignored.
Do not treat this marker as proof that the visual result is correct or that resource cleanup succeeded.
Investigate repeated occurrences if they coincide with missing content, flicker, or device-reset symptoms.
