ERROR_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_REDIRECTION_DISABLED

ERROR_GRAPHICS_PRESENT_REDIRECTION_DISABLED (0xC026200B) means the requested present path depends on desktop redirection, but the desktop windowing management subsystem is unavailable in the current environment.

What to check

  • Check whether the application is running in a session or configuration where desktop composition is not available.
  • Provide a supported fallback presentation path rather than assuming redirection is always enabled.
  • Do not diagnose this as a GPU memory or shader error; the limitation is in the desktop-composition path.
