STATUS_GRAPHICS_MONITOR_NO_LONGER_EXISTS
STATUS_GRAPHICS_MONITOR_NO_LONGER_EXISTS is an asynchronous monitor-lifecycle result. Windows destroyed the monitor represented by the handle because the monitor device changed state, for example after removal, stop, or a display-mode change. The previous handle is no longer a valid target for a retry.
The key distinction from an invalid physical-monitor handle is the cause: this status names an operating-system state transition rather than merely a caller that supplied a handle from the wrong lifetime or API.
Recovery boundary
- Cancel or invalidate work bound to the old physical-monitor handle.
- Re-enumerate monitors from the current display topology, then obtain fresh physical-monitor handles for any newly active output.
- Do not preserve capability strings or VCP support conclusions from the removed handle as though they belonged to a replacement monitor.
