UCEERR_MISSINGBEGINCOMMAND

UCEERR_MISSINGBEGINCOMMAND is a Windows User Composition Engine (UCE) HRESULT. It indicates that the engine received a command sequence without the required opening command or valid initial state.

What to check

Check dispatcher lifecycle and verify that rendering work is not submitted after channel initialization failed.
Look for an earlier render-thread or transport error that prevented the command sequence from starting.
Reduce the scenario to basic window creation and a simple visual tree to isolate initialization failures.
