STATUS_NOT_CAPABLE

The selected implementation lacks the requested capability

Windows returns STATUS_NOT_CAPABLE when process security or execution policy rejects the requested state or operation. The component exists and understood the request, but its implementation or current environment cannot provide the required feature. This differs from a malformed parameter.

Record negotiated versions, capability flags and provider identity, then select a supported provider or degrade functionality explicitly.

This reports a capability mismatch, not a transient busy condition. Compare the requested feature with the selected provider or negotiated version and choose a compatible implementation rather than repeatedly retrying the same request.
