STATUS_NO_SECURITY_ON_OBJECT
The object has no security state for this operation
Windows securable objects normally carry a security descriptor, but not every internal or synthetic object exposes security in the way a caller expects. This status means the requested security operation found no security information on the object.
That is different from a DACL denying access. There may be no descriptor to read, inherit from, audit, or replace.
What to inspect
- Confirm the object type and whether it is documented as securable.
- Check whether the handle refers to a pseudo object or provider-defined object.
- Do not attempt to repair this by changing permissions on a different filesystem or registry path unless that path is the actual object being secured.
