NS_E_BUSY
What NS_E_BUSY means
NS_E_BUSY (0xC00D0025) means the requested Windows Media resource is already in use and cannot perform this operation in its present state.
Evidence to preserve
Identify the exact server object, current owner or operation, outstanding references, and the state transition the caller attempted.
Interpretation
This is a contention/state result. Restarting unrelated services or changing media data does not address an object that is simply still owned or busy.
Recovery
Wait for or cancel the owning operation according to its contract, then retry with a fresh state check. Keep retries bounded so a leaked owner remains visible.
