What does Windows error code 4570 (ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED) mean?

ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED

The Platform Manifest file was not authorized on this machine.

ERROR_PLATFORM_MANIFEST_NOT_AUTHORIZED is Win32 error 4570 (0x11DA) and belongs to Platform Manifest authorization.

Likely causes

• the Platform Manifest itself is not authorized for this machine.
• the active platform identity disagrees with manifest identity, platform binding, signer, and authorization record.
• the provisioning pipeline did not deploy the manifest intended and authorized for this exact platform through the supported provisioning path.

Troubleshooting steps

• Record manifest identity, platform binding, signer, and authorization record.
• Record device identity and the active Platform Manifest generation.

What to verify

Verify whether the Platform Manifest itself is not authorized for this machine. Check manifest identity, platform binding, signer, and authorization record, the device identity, and the active Platform Manifest generation.

Handling, retry, and recovery

Deploy the manifest intended and authorized for this exact platform through the supported provisioning path. Preserve the artifact and authorization evidence before changing provisioning state.

Practical example

A manufacturing image carries a manifest from another hardware model, so platform authorization rejects it.

Developer and administrator guidance

Compare the manifest identity and signer with the device model, firmware identity, and provisioning record. A manifest valid on another product line remains unauthorized here. Preserve the rejected manifest hash, active-manifest generation, and OEM package source before replacing anything.
