TPMAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER
TPMAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER is a Windows TPM API result. It indicates that at least one input value, handle, flag, structure, or length does not satisfy the TPM API contract.
What to check for TPMAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER
- Validate the documented ranges, structure versions, and pointer-length pairs for the selected API.
- Check whether a caller passed a stale TPM context, unsupported flag, or inconsistent field combination.
- Reduce the request to a known working parameter set before adding optional values.

This result has the HRESULT value 0x80290104. AllStat records the condition as “One or more input parameters is invalid.”.
Evidence to capture
- Capture any IErrorInfo text, activity identifier, event-log entry, and subsystem trace that mentions this result or the tpmapi / parameter operation.
- compare the failing machine with a working one at the same configuration boundary: component version, policy, registration, identity, and target resource.
Retry and recovery
Retry only after the condition responsible for TPMAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER has changed; repeat the same operation and confirm that the original failure boundary has moved or disappeared.
