ERROR_SXS_INVALID_DEACTIVATION

ERROR_SXS_INVALID_DEACTIVATION — The requested activation-context deactivation is not valid for the current thread.

The caller attempted to deactivate a context that is not active for this thread. Common causes are using a cookie on a different thread, retaining a stale cookie, or calling cleanup after activation failed.

Treat this as a lifecycle bug and follow the cookie from ActivateActCtx through the matching cleanup path.

What to check

  • Call DeactivateActCtx only after a successful activation and on the same thread.
  • Do not reuse a cookie after its context has already been deactivated.
  • Make asynchronous code capture state safely instead of assuming a thread-local context flows across threads.
