ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_NOT_RUNNING

ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_NOT_RUNNING means an attempt was made to stop remote control of a session that is not currently being shadowed. It is a state mismatch rather than a failure of the RDP listener.

What to check

Refresh session state before sending a shadow-stop operation; the user may have disconnected or the shadow connection may already have ended.
Confirm the target host and session ID are correct in multi-host RDS deployments.
Do not reset the user session merely to clear this status unless there is a separate operational reason.
