ERROR_SECUREBOOT_REQUIRED_POLICY_FILE_MISSING

ERROR_SECUREBOOT_REQUIRED_POLICY_FILE_MISSING (LRESULT 0x00001151) This Win32 error means a Secure Boot policy file required for the current configuration could not be found.

What to check

Identify whether the missing file belongs to the base policy, a supplemental policy, or a managed deployment package.
Restore it through the supported deployment or recovery process; do not create an empty replacement file.
Check recent cleanup, imaging, rollback, or antivirus actions that may have removed policy content.

Determine which policy role is missing before restoring anything: base policy, supplemental policy, and deployment metadata are not interchangeable. Recover the original signed artifact from the same managed policy set used by the device.
