Windows Chrome Remote Desktop: How to turn off the display of the remote computer
displayexternal displaygoogle-chromeremote desktopwindows 10
I'm accessing a remote Windows computer via my Chromebook, using Chrome Remote Desktop. Is there any way to configure the computer such that the display will be turned off, but it won't go to sleep when I use it remotely?
I've tried using NirCmd following the suggestions of this post, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I run nircmd monitor off, the screen shuts off for a split second and immediately comes back to life.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
