STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_COPYPROTECTION_TYPE
The path copy-protection type is not valid
STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_COPYPROTECTION_TYPE is a Windows NTSTATUS value from the graphics/display facility. For STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_COPYPROTECTION_TYPE, it belongs to the WDDM kernel display stack rather than to a Win32 GDI error alone, so the useful context is usually the adapter, VidPN object, child device, present path, or primary allocation involved in the call.
VidPN present-path metadata includes copy-protection information for the path. This status means the type value supplied for that attribute is not valid in the WDDM data structure or for the path context.
Do not confuse this status with protected-output runtime failures such as OPM or HDCP negotiation. Here the path attribute itself is invalid before the protected-output protocol can make a meaningful decision.
What to check for STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_COPYPROTECTION_TYPE
- Log the raw copy-protection type, path content type, output technology, and target ID.
- Check whether the caller mixed VidPN path copy-protection metadata with OPM/COPP runtime protection settings.
- Initialize D3DKMDT path structures and reject private enum extensions before kernel calls.
