ERROR_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_DENIED

ERROR_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_DENIED (0xC0262007) means the process could not present because Windows denied access to the relevant desktop or session. This is different from a GPU rendering failure.

What to check

Verify that the application is running in the intended interactive user session and desktop.
Do not keep stale presentation state across lock, logoff, fast-user-switching, or Remote Desktop transitions.
For services, avoid assuming that a non-interactive service session can present to the physical user desktop.
