STATUS_MONITOR_INVALID_STANDARD_TIMING_BLOCK
A compact timing advertisement could not be decoded safely
STATUS_MONITOR_INVALID_STANDARD_TIMING_BLOCK concerns an EDID standard-timing entry, not a user-selected desktop mode. Standard timings compress information about a candidate display timing; the parser rejected the encoded fields rather than accepting a resolution and refresh rate inferred from a friendly label.
Keep this separate from detailed timing errors. A monitor can have a damaged standard-timing entry while other detailed descriptors are usable, and the correct response depends on what the display driver is validating. Inventing a replacement mode from the current desktop resolution does not repair the advertised timing data.
What to check
- Save the raw EDID block and identify the exact timing slot that the parser rejected.
- Compare the advertised entry with the panel documentation and with a capture through a direct connection.
- Log the timing candidates exposed by the driver after validation instead of assuming every advertised timing is usable.
