ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_SOURCE

ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_SOURCE (0xC0262304) means the requested VidPN video-present source is invalid for the active adapter or topology. A source represents a primary-surface producer in the current display path.

What to check

Enumerate the current sources instead of retaining a source ID from an earlier topology.
Validate source IDs against the adapter that owns the current VidPN.
For multi-monitor changes, rebuild source-target mappings after the display configuration is applied.
