STATEREPOSITORY_E_CONFIGURATION_INVALID
The scope of STATEREPOSITORY_E_CONFIGURATION_INVALID is Windows StateRepository: StateRepository rejected its configuration before normal database work could proceed. Preserve 0x80670003 beside the returning call before cleanup or retry creates a more generic secondary failure.
Read the condition first
Configuration can define database location, modes, feature flags, or schema expectations. A deterministic configuration error should be separated from runtime lock or corruption symptoms and correlated with the exact configuration generation loaded by the service.
Keep neighboring conditions separate
UNKNOWN_SCHEMA_VERSION concerns on-disk schema compatibility; CONFIGURATION_INVALID concerns service setup inputs.
Do not delete data files before proving the configuration points to the intended repository.
Incident record
- Configuration source and hash.
- Service build and OS build.
- First invalid field or option.
- Last known working configuration.
Reproduce without destroying evidence
The investigation should change one variable at a time and keep the original failing sample.
- First: Compare against an unmodified supported configuration.
- Next: Validate paths and values before service start.
- Then: Track configuration deployment atomically.
- Finally: Restart only after preserving the rejected generation.
Three useful controls
- Isolated connection against a repository copy: a changed result separates retained object, connection, path, host, or device state from the original input. Hold constant: preserve schema, data generation, and transaction sequence.
- Reduced failing operation: If this result follows the reduced step, the rejecting transition is localized. Hold constant: retain configuration source and hash and remove only unrelated work.
- Targeted corrective control: Use this as a diagnostic branch rather than a blanket workaround: compare against an unmodified supported configuration. Hold constant: keep the original failing sample available for the final regression test.
Definition of done
Closure requires the supported configuration loads consistently and an intentionally invalid field is rejected with clear evidence; then repeat the next lifecycle operation to detect stale state.
