ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDPN

ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDPN (0xC0262303) means the VidPN handle is invalid. The handle may be stale because the display topology changed or because the caller used a VidPN object outside its valid lifetime.

What to check

Reacquire the VidPN and its interfaces through the current display-manager callback path.
Release topology and mode-set interfaces according to their ownership rules before a new configuration is queried.
Check for hot-plug, monitor removal, session transitions, or adapter reset immediately before the error.

Useful command

dxdiag /t "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\dxdiag.txt"
