ERROR_GRAPHICS_CANT_RENDER_LOCKED_ALLOCATION

ERROR_GRAPHICS_CANT_RENDER_LOCKED_ALLOCATION (0xC0262111) means the command buffer referenced an allocation that was still locked. A resource cannot be rendered from while an incompatible lock or map is active.

What to check

  • Complete the matching unlock or unmap before submitting commands that render from the resource.
  • Check CPU/GPU synchronization so a resource is not both mapped for CPU access and bound for rendering at the same time.
  • Audit error paths to ensure locks are released even when an earlier operation fails.

Useful command

Get-WinEvent -LogName System -MaxEvents 150 | Where-Object { $_.ProviderName -match 'Display|dxgkrnl' }
