    Computer shuts off when I turn off monitor


    I have Win 11 on a KVM switch. When I disconnect the monitor the Win11 box shuts off. I need it to stay on so when I switch back to Win11 it's still running in the state I left it. I'm constantly switching between the Win11 box and some other computer through a KVM. This worked great on all previous Windows. What changed with Win11 and how do I change it back so Wiin11 runs when headless? If I plug a dummy HDMI plug into the second vid port that works but then when I remote control my Win11 box it thinks I have dual monitors and show me a double wide screen.

    :)
