How can I close shadow window without using mouse? Is there any hotkey? My aims is to avoid move user mouse cursor, when I've decided to exit. In Windows 2008 R2 I was able to use Ctrl + * or another hotkey which I choiced when entered to shadow.

I found this which should help you with your problem:

One Solution is to use the numpad if you have one: 

  Ctrl+NP*

The other solution is:

Turn off windows key combination using registry to Disable Windows Key combination for mstsc.exe ( RDP )

Open Registry and go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\DefaultUserConfiguration

  Shadow=1

Change Binary Value to:

  Shadow=0

Now windows shortcut keys will work with Winkey like to Open Explorer: "Winkey + E "

So you can now make other key combinations work as they should.
