This article was previously published under Q262129 SUMMARY The following Event ID may appear in the system event log:
Event Source: PlugPlayManager
Event ID: 256
Description: Timed out sending notification of device interface change to
window of "program or service name and/or GUID."
MORE INFORMATION This Event ID indicates that an application that registered
to receive Plug and Play device interface notification did not respond within
30 seconds of receiving a notification event. Applications can register to
receive Plug and Play device interface notifications. After they are
registered, applications receive notification events when an interface of the
type they were interested in has been enabled/disabled for use by applications.
This timeout is logged in the system event log. This Event ID is merely a
warning that the application did not respond, and it can be ignored.
