STATUS_GRAPHICS_MONITOR_NOT_CONNECTED

The selected target has no connected external display

STATUS_GRAPHICS_MONITOR_NOT_CONNECTED is a target-connectivity state. The VidPN target exists, but no monitor is connected to that target at the time of the operation. It should not be read as a generic application graphics error or as evidence that another target on the adapter is disconnected.

A stale target ID after hot-plug is a common diagnostic trap. Descriptor or mode data captured while a different monitor was attached does not become valid for a target that is now empty. Re-evaluate the topology and connection state before performing monitor-specific operations.

What to check

  • Log target ID, connection status, hot-plug generation, and the exact adapter output used by the operation.
  • Validate cable, dock, KVM, and power state only for the selected target path.
  • Discard stale monitor descriptor and mode-set handles after disconnect events.
