STATUS_CTX_SHADOW_DISABLED
Remote control is disabled for this session or its effective policy
STATUS_CTX_SHADOW_DISABLED means that the target session is not configured to allow Remote Desktop Services remote control. The request may have selected the correct user session, but the target's effective configuration does not permit shadowing.
The diagnostic distinction from STATUS_CTX_SHADOW_DENIED matters: disabled remote control is a target configuration state, whereas denied remote control can be a consent or authorization decision for an otherwise enabled target.
Useful evidence
- Inspect the effective Remote Control settings and any domain policy that governs session shadowing on the specific RD Session Host.
- Record whether the operation requested view-only or control and whether user permission is required by policy.
- Do not lower the organization's remote-control protections just to satisfy a troubleshooting request; choose an approved support channel when shadowing is disabled by design.
