ERROR_GRAPHICS_NO_DISPLAY_DEVICE_CORRESPONDS_TO_NAME
Why this is not a generic GPU failure: graphics no display device corresponds to name
ERROR_GRAPHICS_NO_DISPLAY_DEVICE_CORRESPONDS_TO_NAME (0xC02625E1) belongs to the gdi monitor layer. It marks the supplied device name does not map to a currently enumerated DISPLAY_DEVICE, rather than a generic rendering failure. The object that owns the decision is GDI display-device name resolution.
The smallest evidence set
| Capture item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Rejected condition | the supplied device name does not map to a currently enumerated DISPLAY_DEVICE |
| What to capture | exact name string, EnumDisplayDevices output, device flags, session and topology generation |
| Current graph state | GDI display-device enumeration, desktop attachment and physical-monitor mapping |
| Supporting trace | EnumDisplayDevices snapshot, DISPLAY_DEVICE flags, session ID, HMONITOR list and physical-monitor count |
| Object identity | GDI display-device name resolution |
A/B test for the exact condition
- Capture the failing state. Record exact name string, EnumDisplayDevices output, device flags, session and topology generation.
- Use a name copied from the current enumeration and compare with the stale or synthetic name.
The comparison with ERROR_GRAPHICS_DISPLAY_DEVICE_NOT_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP is especially useful: ERROR_GRAPHICS_DISPLAY_DEVICE_NOT_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP finds the device but it is not part of the desktop.
Safe remediation
Store stable hardware identity separately and resolve a fresh GDI name for each operation.
- debug-layer, ETW or driver diagnostics no longer report the rejected GDI display-device name resolution contract during the same scenario.
