STATUS_WMI_READ_ONLY
The provider exposes this WMI data as read-only
WMI providers may support query operations without implementing changes to the same data block. A change request against read-only provider data returns this status. It is an interface property, not evidence that the caller lacks an administrator token or that the registry needs different ACLs.
Identify whether the consumer sent IRP_MN_CHANGE_SINGLE_INSTANCE or IRP_MN_CHANGE_SINGLE_ITEM. If the provider documentation exposes a separate method or device-control operation for changing the state, use that contract instead of trying to write the queried representation.
What to inspect
- Capture the WMI minor function and selected block/item.
- Check the provider contract for a method or separate control path.
- Do not retry the same set request with higher privileges unless access was separately denied.
