STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_TARGET_MODE
Target mode controls the output signal
A target mode describes the video signal delivered to a video present target. This status identifies an invalid selected target-mode descriptor in the current VidPN. It can involve timing, target association, or the lifetime of the mode object; it is not automatically an EDID checksum error or a source-surface error.
Target modes change as the topology and related pinned modes change. Diagnosing it requires the selected target mode plus the active path, not a generic list of monitor resolutions.
Useful checks
- Capture target ID, target mode-set handle, timing fields, signal standard, and the path transformations applied to the target.
- Compare the selected target mode with the current target mode set, not with modes cached before a hot-plug or configuration change.
- Review source/target pairing and clone constraints before assuming the target timing alone is at fault.
