STATUS_GRAPHICS_INVALID_CLIENT_TYPE

The VidPN client type selector is invalid

Some VidPN operations distinguish the client or owner that initiated a mode-management request. This status means the client type value passed to the interface is not recognized.

This is a parameter-contract error. It can arise from uninitialized structure fields, using a value from another API layer, or passing a new enum value to an older driver/interface path that does not understand it. It is not a monitor or timing capability failure.

What to check

  • Log the numeric client type and the caller path that filled it.
  • Initialize the complete VidPN request structure before assigning selected fields.
  • Check version-dependent code paths when the same binary supports several WDDM generations.
