# GetDeviceRemovedReason

> Gets the reason that the device was removed.

Gets the reason that the device was removed, or **S\_OK** if the device isn't removed. To be called back when a device is removed, consider using [ID3D12Fence::SetEventOnCompletion](/reference/graphics/d3d12/interfaces/id3d12fence/methods/id3d12fence_seteventoncompletion_public) with a value of **UINT64\_MAX**. That's because device removal causes all fences to be signaled to that value (which also implies completing all events waited on, because they'll all be less than **UINT64\_MAX**).

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT GetDeviceRemovedReason(
)
```

### Parameters

Type: HRESULT

**Header:** d3d12\_xs.h or d3d12\_x.h\
**Library:** d3d12\_xs.lib or d3d12\_x.lib\
