UCEERR_UNCHANGABLE_UPDATE_ATTEMPTED

UCEERR_UNCHANGABLE_UPDATE_ATTEMPTED is a Windows User Composition Engine (UCE) HRESULT. It indicates that the operation tried to modify a composition resource whose current state or type does not allow updates.

What to check for UCEERR_UNCHANGABLE_UPDATE_ATTEMPTED

  • Check the lifetime and immutability rules for the visual or resource being changed.
  • Create a new resource when the API requires replacement instead of mutation.
  • Ensure that an update is not racing with resource finalization or channel teardown.

Diagnostic discriminator: Identify the composition resource targeted by the update and whether its current type/state is mutable. This status is an attempted modification of an unchangeable resource, not a transport failure.
