STATUS_GRAPHICS_PVP_HFS_FAILED
The PVP hardware functionality scan failed
STATUS_GRAPHICS_PVP_HFS_FAILED is a Windows NTSTATUS value from the graphics/display facility. In this group, the status is tied to protected video output, OPM/COPP compatibility, PVP certificate validation, output-protection hardware, or the monitor configuration path.
The protected video path can ask the display miniport driver to validate protected-output hardware before exposing certificate or protection operations. Microsoft documents this status on the OPM certificate DDI path when the hardware functionality scan fails or the driver detects tampering.
This is a stronger signal than an ordinary unsupported-protection status. It can indicate that the protected-output path refuses to vouch for the hardware or driver state. Capture driver, firmware, and platform integrity evidence before reducing the issue to a cable or monitor compatibility problem.
What to check
- Record whether the failure occurred during certificate retrieval or a later OPM command.
- Check for display-driver update, firmware, virtualization, remote display, or unsigned/tampered driver context.
- Do not bypass the failure by treating the protected output as trusted; protected-media policy depends on this validation.
