ERROR_CAPAUTHZ_NO_POLICY
Windows cannot locate the policy used to decide capability access
ERROR_CAPAUTHZ_NO_POLICY means the capability authorization service has no usable policy for the requested evaluation. This differs from a policy that explicitly denies the capability: the policy source itself is absent or unavailable, so Windows cannot establish whether the application is entitled to the resource.
Check edition, servicing state, enterprise provisioning, and whether the feature that installs the policy completed successfully. Correlate the failure with AppModel and deployment event logs rather than repeatedly changing the app manifest. If only one device is affected, compare its policy and package servicing state with a working device built from the same image.
What to inspect
- Determine whether policy is missing globally or for one capability family.
- Review OS servicing and provisioning events before reinstalling the app.
- Compare managed-device policy delivery with a known-good system.
