D2DERR_WRONG_STATE

D2DERR_WRONG_STATE means that a Direct2D object is valid, but the requested method is not allowed in its current lifecycle or drawing state. It often appears when a resource is used before setup is complete, after it has been invalidated, or outside the required rendering sequence.

What to check

Confirm the object was created and initialized successfully before the call.
Check that drawing commands are issued in the expected BeginDraw/EndDraw scope when the API requires it.
After a device-loss recovery, recreate device-dependent resources instead of reusing stale objects.

This result is about object state, not an invalid HRESULT conversion or a missing DLL.
