ERROR_RESOURCE_ENUM_USER_STOP

User stopped resource enumeration.

ERROR_RESOURCE_ENUM_USER_STOP is a domain-specific Windows result.

Likely impact: Completed callbacks may already have produced valid results or side effects, so the outcome is not equivalent to zero work.

Typical causes

  • the callback returned its stop indication.
  • a UI user canceled enumeration.
  • a result limit intentionally ended scanning.
  • a wrapper assumes all nonzero values are errors.

Useful evidence

  • Collect enumeration API and callback result.
  • Collect number of resources already delivered.
  • Collect user cancellation or result limit.
  • Collect continuation state.
  • Collect whether the caller requested all results.

Recovery and retry

Preserve the partial result set and report user cancellation or bounded completion without retrying automatically.

Related errors

ERROR_CANCELLED may come from a broader cancellation mechanism; this code specifically records a user stop during resource enumeration

Example

A search UI stops enumeration after the user closes the dialog. The caller discards continuation state and reports a normal canceled search.
