ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_INVALID

ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_INVALID means the selected session cannot be remotely controlled. The target may be disconnected, may have no signed-in user, or may not be a session type that supports shadowing.

What to check

  • List sessions on the correct Session Host and verify that the target is active and belongs to the intended user.
  • Confirm that the session ID was not reused after a reconnect or sign-out.
  • Check shadow policy only after confirming that the target session itself is eligible for remote control.
