STATUS_ELEVATION_REQUIRED
The operation requires an elevated token
STATUS_ELEVATION_REQUIRED identifies a specific Windows status in the process security and execution policy path. The caller has an administrative identity available but is running with a filtered or otherwise non-elevated token. Granting broader file ACLs may not satisfy the protected operation.
Check token elevation type, integrity level, requested action and UAC consent path. Elevate only the narrow administrative operation.
What to preserve before changing the system
- The exact API, caller, target object, original NTSTATUS value, and any nested error or activity ID.
- the relevant process token, package/job/enclave identity, lifecycle state, and policy or mitigation settings.
- operational event logs and a timeline showing the first transition into the failing state.
