STATUS_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_REDIRECTION_DISABLED
STATUS_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_REDIRECTION_DISABLED reports that presentation redirection was disabled because the desktop windowing-management subsystem was off. It belongs to the composition path, not to normal GPU memory allocation or monitor enumeration.
The operating-system era matters. Microsoft documents that applications on Windows 7 or earlier can observe composition-state changes, while the API that disabled composition is deprecated from Windows 8 and later because DWM can no longer be programmatically disabled. Therefore a modern occurrence should be diagnosed as a compatibility, session, driver, or unusual environment issue rather than as a request to toggle a user setting.
Evidence worth keeping
- Windows version, session type, and whether the request depends on windowless or redirected presentation.
- Composition-state information where the platform exposes it.
- Any transition to a remote, secure, or noninteractive desktop around the time of the failure.
Do not conflate redirection disabled with a monitor disconnect. The latter is a topology/target condition and needs separate display-device evidence.
