@Sathish_Sathish1,

What’s the code logic you are using?

Thanks,

Hi Sathish,

This error can occur due to various reasons.

  1. If you’re using multiple monitors or unusual display configurations, it’s possible that the coordinates or handle being used to capture the screen are invalid. Ensure that the coordinates are within the bounds of the available screens.
  2. Sometimes attempting to capture a screenshot too quickly after a screen transition or window resize can result with this error. Try adding a delay or retry mechanism.
  3. Insufficient system resources may cause this. It may be a one-time error caused by system issues. You can try restarting the machine.

Please let me know if any of these solutions help.

Best Regards,
Kardelen
