The Specify maximum number of remote shells per user machine setting should be configured correctly.
Configures maximum number of concurrent shells any user can remotely open on the same system. Any number from 0 to 0x7FFFFFFF cand be set, where 0 means unlimited number of shells. If you enable this policy setting, the user will not be able to open new remote shells if the count exceeds the specified limit. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, by default the limit will be set to 2 remote shells per user.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Remote Shell\Specify maximum number of remote shells per user
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WinRM\Service\WinRS\MaxShellsPerUser
