STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_MONITOR_CAPABILITY_ORIGIN
The mode does not identify a valid source for its capability data
STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_MONITOR_CAPABILITY_ORIGIN concerns the Origin member of a monitor source mode. Windows records where capability information came from, for example a default monitor profile or an INF override. The value must be valid for the mode and must not be invented when a driver constructs or updates a mode object.
This status is not a verdict on whether the resolution itself is physically possible. It tells the driver that the provenance metadata is invalid. Treat descriptor-derived capabilities, defaults, and administrator-provided overrides as separate sources when diagnosing why a mode entered the set.
What to check
- Log the mode ID, origin value, target, descriptor source, and whether an INF override is active.
- Create the mode with a valid, documented origin rather than copying a field from an unrelated target.
- Keep capability-origin failure separate from invalid timing fields or an empty adapter/monitor intersection.
