Chrome Remote Desktop: How to turn off the display of the remote computer?

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!


Solution 1:

On windows chrome remote desktop, access remote machine and don't display at remote:
First option is turn off the monitor of remote machine manually of possible.
Second option is to Enable Curtain Mode for Chrome Remote Desktop, see further instructions here: Google support.

Solution 2:

Open the command prompt as an administrator and paste below and press Enter.

reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome /v RemoteAccessHostRequireCurtain /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f && reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal && Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v SecurityLayer /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f && reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v UserAuthentication /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f && net stop chromoting && net start chromoting
