Description

The UWP Screenshot implementation has a bug where under certain conditions the content of the ScreenshotResult can be lost before being read as a stream. The RenderTargetBitmap docs solution is to call RenderTarget again, which would in effect take a screenshot at a later time. To prevent random losses of UWP screenshots we would have to store something else than a RenderTargetBitmap.

The contents of a RenderTargetBitmap can be lost in rare cases because of interaction with other lower-level systems, for example if the video driver is reset as part of a recovery (see Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR)). If that happens, the CompositionTarget.SurfaceContentsLost event will fire. To account for this case and similar info-loss cases, apps should listen for the CompositionTarget.SurfaceContentsLost event and re-render the contents of a RenderTargetBitmap by calling RenderAsync again.

Expected Behavior

Bitmap is not lost after graphic driver reset

Actual Behavior

Bitmap is lost
