STATUS_GRAPHICS_LEADLINK_NOT_ENUMERATED

The lead link has not appeared in enumeration yet

STATUS_GRAPHICS_LEADLINK_NOT_ENUMERATED is a Windows NTSTATUS value from the graphics/display facility. For STATUS_GRAPHICS_LEADLINK_NOT_ENUMERATED, 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.

In a linked-adapter configuration, the lead link provides the coordination point for the chain. This status means code reached a linked-adapter operation before that lead adapter was enumerated by PnP/display startup.

The likely issue is start ordering. Chain links or display policy may be visible earlier than the lead link, but mode-management work that depends on the lead cannot proceed until enumeration is complete.

What to check for STATUS_GRAPHICS_LEADLINK_NOT_ENUMERATED

  • Record the enumeration state of the lead and every chain link.
  • Defer chain-level VidPN work until the lead adapter object exists.
  • Investigate PnP timing if this persists beyond normal startup.
