ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_TARGET

ERROR_GRAPHICS_INVALID_VIDEO_PRESENT_TARGET (0xC0262305) means the requested VidPN video-present target is invalid. A target normally corresponds to an output path toward a monitor or other display device.

What to check

Re-enumerate active targets after monitor hot-plug, dock attach/detach, display disable, or driver reset.
Do not use a target ID from a different adapter or an old display configuration.
For end users, verify the physical connection and whether Windows currently detects the intended display.
