UCEERR_NO_MULTIPLE_WORKER_THREADS

UCEERR_NO_MULTIPLE_WORKER_THREADS is a Windows User Composition Engine (UCE) HRESULT. It indicates that the requested composition operation cannot use multiple worker threads in the current engine configuration.

What to check

  • Keep WPF object access on the dispatcher that owns the object unless the API explicitly supports cross-thread use.
  • Remove parallel rendering assumptions from custom interop or background work that feeds the visual tree.
  • Use dispatcher scheduling to serialize UI updates when the operation requires a single owner.
