STATUS_CTX_SHADOW_ENDED_BY_MODE_CHANGE
A display transition invalidated the active shadow session
STATUS_CTX_SHADOW_ENDED_BY_MODE_CHANGE reports that active remote control of the console ended when the display mode changed. It is an end-of-session state for shadowing, not an authorization denial and not proof that the RDP transport failed.
The server cannot continue the existing remote-control relationship across that mode transition. The useful evidence is the before-and-after display configuration, target session type, and the application or user action that triggered the change.
Useful evidence
- Capture the target session ID, controller session ID, monitor layout, resolution, color depth, and timestamp of the mode change.
- Treat the existing remote-control operation as ended; do not continue issuing input as though control were still active.
- Avoid using a display-mode change as a way to recover shadowing. Re-establish remote control only through the supported policy and consent path after the target is stable.
