ERROR_CTX_CONSOLE_DISCONNECT

ERROR_CTX_CONSOLE_DISCONNECT means Windows does not support the requested attempt to disconnect the system console session in that way. Console and remote sessions have different lifecycle rules.

Distinguish the console session from ordinary user sessions before issuing disconnect or reset operations. Management tooling should select the session type it supports rather than applying remote-session lifecycle commands indiscriminately.

What to check

Confirm the target session type before applying a disconnect or reset action.
Use supported RDS session-management commands for remote sessions rather than treating the console as an ordinary disconnected session.
When maintenance requires console access, coordinate with the user at the physical console to avoid data loss or an unexpected lockout.
