ERROR_CTX_CLOSE_PENDING

ERROR_CTX_CLOSE_PENDING means Windows is already closing the requested Remote Desktop session. A second close, reset, shadow, or management operation may fail until the existing transition completes.

What to check

Use the session list to confirm whether the target is active, disconnected, or disappearing.
Wait for the transition to finish and retry with the current session ID rather than a stale one.
If a session remains stuck, review TerminalServices and application events before deciding whether an administrator should reset it.
