NS_E_WMP_HWND_NOTFOUND

NS_E_WMP_HWND_NOTFOUND: follow the state transition

For NS_E_WMP_HWND_NOTFOUND (0xC00D125C), the failed transition is: Windows Media Player cannot resolve the window handle expected for the requested UI operation.

Capture before retry

capture HWND value, owning thread/process, window lifetime, parent/child relationship, session/desktop, and the API consuming it.

Prove the fix at the owning API

use a live window owned by the expected UI context and avoid retaining HWNDs after window destruction. Keep unrelated inputs unchanged so a changed result has diagnostic value.
