ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_ENDED_BY_MODE_CHANGE
ERROR_CTX_SHADOW_ENDED_BY_MODE_CHANGE means Windows stopped remote control of the console because the display mode changed. Console shadowing cannot continue across that graphics-mode transition.
Correlate the end of shadowing with display-driver, resolution, console, or session transitions on the host. Re-establish remote control only after the graphics mode stabilizes so the same transition does not immediately terminate it again.
What to check
- Identify whether a local display change, GPU driver reset, resolution switch, or monitor reconfiguration occurred at the same time.
- Reconnect to the session after the display configuration stabilizes.
- If it repeats, investigate the host graphics driver and console display environment rather than changing shadow permissions.
