ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_ALLOCATION_HANDLE
ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_ALLOCATION_HANDLE (0xC0262114) means the allocation handle passed to the graphics operation is invalid. It can occur when an application or driver uses a stale, closed, or wrong-device resource handle.
What to check
- Validate the handle before use and remove it from caches when the resource is destroyed or the device is reset.
- Do not share handles across devices or adapters unless the API explicitly supports that model.
- Correlate the error with prior device-loss or resource-lifetime events.
