ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_NOT_SUPPORTED
What ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_NOT_SUPPORTED means
ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_NOT_SUPPORTED (0xC0262500) means the graphics driver does not provide Output Protection Manager support for the path being used. OPM is the Windows interface used by protected-media applications to control output protection on video outputs.
What this result narrows down
This is an OPM capability/driver result, not a later HDCP-authentication failure. Microsoft also documents practical cases such as an analog VGA path or a system using a basic display driver instead of the appropriate vendor driver for a digital output.
| Check | What to preserve |
|---|---|
| Display path | The adapter, active monitor/output, connector type and the display path that actually carries the protected video. |
| Driver | Graphics driver provider/version and whether the system is using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter or the intended hardware driver. |
| OPM call | The exact OPM enumeration/creation operation and the first graphics HRESULT returned for that output. |
| Comparison | A known supported digital output on the same system, or the same output after installing the appropriate graphics driver. |
What to do
- Verify that the application selected the output that actually displays the protected frames, especially on multi-monitor systems.
- Use the appropriate graphics driver for the adapter and output rather than treating the result as a generic codec or media-file failure.
- If the selected connector/output does not support the required protected-output path, move the protected presentation to a supported output instead of retrying the same OPM call indefinitely.
- Keep this separate from
ERROR_GRAPHICS_OPM_OUTPUT_DOES_NOT_SUPPORT_HDCP, which means an OPM output exists but does not support the requested HDCP mechanism.
