STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_INTERNAL_ERROR
OPM reported an internal protected-output failure
STATUS_GRAPHICS_OPM_INTERNAL_ERROR is a Windows NTSTATUS value from the graphics/display facility. In this group, the status is tied to protected video output, OPM/COPP compatibility, PVP certificate validation, output-protection hardware, or the monitor configuration path.
Output Protection Manager is the WDDM-era interface used to protect video signals on physical outputs and to query or configure protection state. This status is a broad internal failure from that path, not a direct statement that the monitor, cable, or HDCP receiver is bad.
The useful diagnostic boundary is the OPM operation being performed: create protected output, get certificate, query information, or configure protection. A driver can have a certificate problem, a state-machine problem, or a connector-specific problem, and all of them may otherwise look like an OPM internal failure without the surrounding call context.
What to check
- Capture the exact OPM DDI/API call and the protected-output handle.
- Check preceding statuses for certificate, HFS, information-request, or configuration-request failures.
- Compare the same adapter with another connector or mode before replacing display hardware.
