Hi @shizihang456 A fix for the errno=42 error was incorporated into the development branch of the librealsense SDK about a week after beta 2.56.3 was released. So the fix isn't in 2.56.3 but is on the development version of the SDK.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/development

The development branch is what becomes the next 'master' release of the SDK.

The most common cause of the errno=42 error is if the user has a Windows username that contains special characters, such as Chinese or Hebrew - please see #13597
