Thread renamed when calling D3D11CreateDevice

[Fredrik-Orderud]

I've started to experience problems with the "main" thread of my C++ program being renamed when calling D3D11CreateDevice to create a GPU device on a Win10 22H2 (x64) laptop with Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics with driver version: 32.0.101.6078 (latest).

Minimal C++ reproducer:

#include <d3d11.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "D3D11.lib")

int WINAPI wmain(int argc, wchar_t * argv[]) {
  const D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL desired_levels[] = { D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0 };
  D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL actual_level = D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_9_1; // overwritten on device creation
  ID3D11Device* device = nullptr;
  ID3D11DeviceContext* context = nullptr;
  // will trigger renaming of the thread
  HRESULT hr = D3D11CreateDevice(nullptr, D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE, nullptr, D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_BGRA_SUPPORT, desired_levels, ARRAYSIZE(desired_levels), D3D11_SDK_VERSION, &device, &actual_level, &context);
  if (FAILED(hr))
    abort();
}

I think this problem is triggered by a regression after a recent Intel GPU driver update. I'm attaching Visual Studio screenshot before & after calling D3D11CreateDevice. Also attaching DxDiag output with more details on my Direct3D and GPU driver setup.

Hello Fredrik-Orderud,

I'm still checking on this. Can you please let me know if you are an app or game developer using the Iris Xe Graphics?

I hope to hear from you soon.

I'm developing medical image SW that needs to run on Intel-based GPUs like Iris Xe.

Hello redrik-Orderud.

Good day!

Kindly reach out to:

Developing Games on Intel Graphics Community or the Github Intel-GPU-Community-Issue-Tracker-IGCIT.

I hope this helps.

Ok. I've now resubmitted the problem report on https://github.com/IGCIT/Intel-GPU-Community-Issue-Tracker-IGCIT/issues/875 .

I was not aware of this community issue tracker GitHub project. Maybe https://community.intel.com/ can be updated with a link to it, so that the next developer who wants to report a GPU driver bug ends up there instead of here(?)
