ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_ALLOCATION_INSTANCE
ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_ALLOCATION_INSTANCE (0xC0262113) means the allocation instance associated with the request is not valid in the current graphics state. It may be stale, belong to a previous device state, or have been created incorrectly.
What to check
- Recreate the allocation instance after a reset or device recreation instead of reusing an old instance reference.
- Validate instance ownership and lifecycle before passing it to the graphics kernel path.
- Check for preceding allocation-close, device-reset, or handle-validation errors in the trace.
