NVAPI_SETTING_NOT_FOUND

Error message

DRS_GetSetting

What it means

NvapiException wrapping a non-NVAPI_OK status from DRS_GetSetting. It is raised by GetDwordValueFromProfile: inside a DRS session the profile handle is obtained and the value is read via ReadDwordValue, which calls DRS_GetSetting to query the DWORD value of settingId on that profile; a failure status from the driver query is wrapped and thrown, so no value can be returned for the requested setting.

Solutions

1. Catch NvapiException and fall back to returnDefaultValue=true semantics (use the driver default).
2. Confirm the settingId exists on the profile; querying an unset setting id can error on some driver versions.
3. Retry in a fresh DRS session if the shared global session is stale.
4. Validate the profile name resolves to a handle before attempting the read.
