ERROR_CTX_NO_OUTBUF

ERROR_CTX_NO_OUTBUF indicates resource pressure in the Remote Desktop Services session path: the server had no available output buffers for the operation. It is usually transient, but repeated occurrences can point to high session load, a stuck client, or a host resource problem.

What to check

  • Check the number and state of active and disconnected sessions when the error occurs.
  • Review memory, CPU, networking and TerminalServices events for a broader resource bottleneck.
  • Determine whether one client, one application, or all sessions trigger the problem before restarting services.
