ERROR_CTX_INVALID_WD

ERROR_CTX_INVALID_WD means the terminal connection driver selected by the RDS configuration is invalid for the current host. It is a server component/configuration issue, not an indication that the user entered incorrect credentials.

What to check

Check the earliest TerminalServices and System events for the component or configuration change that made the driver invalid.
Verify the Session Host role and relevant Windows servicing state.
Avoid editing driver or service registrations manually; restore the supported RDS configuration or repair the role installation.
