Windows 8.1: Keep remote monitors/displays off during RDP

Question

In the mornings, I leave my user account logged into my Windows 8.1 Pro desktop. My monitors power off a few minutes before I leave my home.

Later, I RDP to that PC using the same username.. which takes me to the remote desktop console.

However, that wakes up my remote monitors. Is there anyway for me to tell Windows NOT to turn my remote monitors on (since I'm not even at the remote location)?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about making windows do this, but you could try an old technology approach & turn off your monitor.

That would solve your issue.
