Windows 10: Run without video

I have a series of automated cursor and keyboard manipulation programs that will happily run, Win 11 based, all night long, without the benefit of or need for monitors to be active or visible. I'd like to turn off the monitors, in a fashion similar to that performed by scrnsave, without having win 11 turning them back on. So far, all I've found is assorted hacks that invariably run acropper of the fact that, indeed, the keyboard is simulated, the mouse is simulated, and all of that needs to work. Is there out there anywhere a solution that lets Win 11 run WITH the monitors fully asle
