NS_E_VIDCAPCREATEWINDOW
NS_E_VIDCAPCREATEWINDOW: isolate the owning operation
NS_E_VIDCAPCREATEWINDOW (0xC00D1B6D) is not a catch-all media error. It reports that the capture/preview path could not create the window required by the configured video source.
Do not discard these details
- Record window class/parent, desktop/session, thread identity, UI permissions, display state, and the first CreateWindow/preview-host failure.
- Preserve the first HRESULT or lower-level result produced before cleanup or automatic retry changes the state.
How to prove the correction
Create the preview host in a valid interactive desktop/thread context or disable preview if it is not required, then start the same capture graph.
