Overview

0XC0000155 is the NTSTATUS representation of STATUS_LOGON_NOT_GRANTED. The code identifies the documented condition, while the calling program, timestamp, logs, and repeatable operation identify the responsible component.

Common causes

  • The affected operation returned the official STATUS_LOGON_NOT_GRANTED condition
  • The calling program encountered the documented result: A requested type of logon (for example, interactive, network, and service) is not granted by the local security policy of the target system. Ask the system administrator to grant the necessary form of logon.
  • A configuration, resource, or dependency used by the security and permissions operation did not meet its requirements
  • A recent program, service, installer, or system change altered the context in which 0XC0000155 occurs

Symptoms

  • Confirm which operation returned 0XC0000155
  • Match 0XC0000155 to events from the same timestamp
  • Retest once and preserve any changed result

Prevention

  • Preserve Application and System events that accompany 0XC0000155
  • Use supported installers and configuration methods for the affected security and permissions workflow
  • Document changes so the operating context for STATUS_LOGON_NOT_GRANTED can be reconstructed

How to troubleshoot error 0XC0000155

Use these Windows-native steps in order. Stop when Windows Update works again; advanced repair commands are not necessary on every PC.

1

Restart Windows and retry the update

Save your work, restart the PC, then open Settings > Windows Update and select Check for updates. A restart can release pending files without changing Windows configuration.

2

Run the Windows Update troubleshooter

Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Locate Windows Update and select Run. Current Windows 11 versions may continue the diagnostic flow in Get Help.

3

Repair Windows components when indicated

If troubleshooting still reports missing or damaged components, open Terminal as administrator, run DISM RestoreHealth, and then run System File Checker. Do not interrupt either scan.

Before advanced repair: Back up important files. Managed work or school PCs may use organization update policies, so contact the administrator before changing services or update components.

Official-source grounding

The error meaning is grounded in Microsoft Open Specifications [MS-ERREF] NTSTATUS Values. The visual sequence also follows Microsoft Support guidance for Windows Update troubleshooting and Microsoft DISM repair guidance. Causes and repair steps vary by system evidence; this report does not claim a universal success rate.
