ERROR_CTX_BAD_VIDEO_MODE
ERROR_CTX_BAD_VIDEO_MODE means the client attempted to connect using a display mode that the target Remote Desktop session cannot support. The mismatch can involve resolution, monitor layout, graphics features, or an older client configuration.
What to check
- Retry with a conventional single-monitor resolution and without custom graphics or multi-monitor settings.
- Compare the failing RDP client settings with a working client on the same server.
- Check host display-driver and Remote Desktop Services events if the problem affects every client.
