STATUS_FWP_INVALID_FLAGS

A flags field mixes lifecycle and object-state bits incorrectly

STATUS_FWP_INVALID_FLAGS means BFE rejected a bitmask before applying the requested operation. Flags are specific to each WFP structure; a bit that is documented for a provider or a session is not automatically meaningful for a filter. Some filter flags are mutually exclusive, and some state flags are returned by BFE but cannot be supplied when creating a filter.

Diagnose the numeric flags field against the exact structure and target Windows version. Do not mask off unknown bits blindly in durable policy code: that may remove a required lifecycle choice such as persistence or boot-time behavior, while leaving the original installer defect unexplained.

What to inspect

The declaring structure, all requested flag names, and the raw hexadecimal value.
Mutually exclusive combinations, including persistent and boot-time filter settings.
Flags that are output-only or valid only after BFE has created the object.
The SDK or WDK version used to compile the policy client and the target OS support level.
