D2DERR_RECREATE_TARGET

D2DERR_RECREATE_TARGET means that Direct2D detected a recoverable presentation or device-loss condition. The render target is no longer valid, and any resources created from that target may also be invalid.

Required recovery

Discard the render target and all resources that depend on it, such as target-created brushes, bitmaps, and compatible targets.
Create a new render target and rebuild those device-dependent resources.
Render the whole frame again after recreation rather than trying to continue the interrupted frame.

Microsoft documents this result as the normal recovery signal from EndDraw; retrying with the old target is not sufficient.
