ERROR_GRAPHICS_TRY_AGAIN_NOW

ERROR_GRAPHICS_TRY_AGAIN_NOW (0xC0262105) means the operation encountered a short-lived condition and is expected to be retried immediately. It should still be handled as a controlled retry, not ignored as success.

What to check

  • Retry the same operation once the required graphics state is reacquired, but cap retries to avoid an infinite loop.
  • If immediate retries continue to fail, switch to the diagnostic path for a persistent device, resource, or session problem.
  • Keep logs for the first non-retry graphics error that preceded the retry state.

Useful command
