Research direction
The issue contains only an attached error screenshot and names vainitialize with error code -1. Start by identifying the affected DirectX-Graphics-Samples entry point and reproducing the initialization failure; inspect the environment and initialization path involved. Done means determining the cause and documenting or fixing the failure, with validation that vainitialize no longer reports the error.
