You should check that EnumAdapters1 returns S_OK.
Also you should check that GetDesc1 return S_OK.
If they don't return S_OK, then their error return code should hint where the problem lies - Get Desc1 expects pointer to existing structure, not NULL. It write to the object passed, but if you pass NULL there's nowhere to write adapter properties.

So you should write:

DXGI_ADAPTER_DESC1 temp_desc;
if (FAILED(adapter_ptr->GetDesc1(&temp_desc)) { error }

@NewDisplayName: nullptr is now standard way in C++11 how to say NULL.
