STATUS_GRAPHICS_CHAINLINKS_NOT_ENUMERATED
Not every chain link has been enumerated
STATUS_GRAPHICS_CHAINLINKS_NOT_ENUMERATED is a Windows NTSTATUS value from the graphics/display facility. For STATUS_GRAPHICS_CHAINLINKS_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.
This status belongs to linked display-adapter startup. It means the configuration expects multiple chain links, but at least one of those adapter links has not been enumerated yet.
Do not diagnose it from a single adapter in isolation. The display stack needs a consistent view of the whole chain. Missing enumeration can come from delayed PnP start, firmware state, power gating, mux behavior, or a device that failed before display startup reached it.
What to check for STATUS_GRAPHICS_CHAINLINKS_NOT_ENUMERATED
- Dump expected and observed chain-link identities.
- Correlate with PnP device-start and power-on events for every adapter in the chain.
- Avoid starting lead-link display work while the chain inventory is incomplete.
