Do you work remotely using a remote control application like Teamviewer? Have you ever encountered the situation that, when the monitor of remote PC is on, the remote control works fine, but if you turn off the monitor, the picture from remote PC freezes or turns out a black screen?

We have seen a lot of cases online, such as:

If I turn off the monitor on remote pc, picture on the screen stop working — TeamViewer Support
Abnormal display when the remote PC has no monitor turned on · Issue #6682 · rustdesk/rustdesk

To be honest, such an experience really causes bad feelings. We don’t want to keep the monitor on, on the one hand, to save power, and on the other hand, to protect our privacy from others.
