MQ_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

MQ_ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE means that the queue handle passed to Message Queuing is not valid for the requested operation. This commonly points to a handle that was never opened successfully, was already closed, or belongs to a different lifetime than the current operation.

How to investigate

Pair every successful MQOpenQueue call with one owner responsible for MQCloseQueue.
Prevent another thread from closing the handle while receive, peek, or asynchronous completion processing is still active.
Open a fresh queue handle after a service restart or queue recreation instead of reusing cached state.
