I have looked to see if there is a way to configure the mirage driver to add a fake monitor, but I can't figure out how to. It does not at this point show another monitor except for the physical monitor, and disconnecting monitor gives same results.
I installed the mirage driver, and it shows as a display adapter. If Task Manager flickers along with everything else on the screen, a display driver is probably causing the problem. If you don’t see Task Manager after pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. I'm not saying this will fix your issue, but we can and do run headless with our Dell computers both desktop and laptops. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open Task Manager. We've been using it since the Win7 days and continue to use it with Win10. I made several mentions of the mirage driver, are you using this driver from the TightVNC web site? This adds in a virtual video adapter. I know this from video encoding where if I want all of the GPU operational they need the headless adapter installed. I know some graphics adapters will shut down the GPU without anything connected to the output. I have confirmed that having a monitor attached allows me to VNC into the W10 machine and simply detaching the VGA cable kills the display on VNC and freezes at the last image until the monitor is reconnected. So I guess I may be ordering one of the headless adapters you guys sent links to.
