I know that TeamViewer works with a headless machine, but the business license is far too expensive.
#Vnc server for windows software#
I know that I could just buy a loopback DisplayPort adapter (though I'm having trouble finding one?), but I was hoping to get by with a software solution. I also found CRU, or Custom Resolution Utility, which someone said can spoof monitors, but it seems like it's centered on adjusting resolutions of real monitors, not spoofing monitors. I have tried setting up a "virtual" monitor using the "Display Device on VGA" workaround, but that feature doesn't seem to exist on Windows 10.

This is the case even when I try to VNC or shadow an active RDP session. They will connect to the work PC, but they will both just show a perpetually black screen. When I run the work PC headless, I can still connect and interact with the work PC via RDP like before, but both RDP shadowing and TightVNC don't work.

But this solution stops working when I make my work PC headless (ie no monitor, keyboard, or mouse connected). I've gotten around this limitation by connecting to my work PC using TightVNC, then logging in as a remote user, and this workaround functions great when I have a monitor connected to my work PC. Unfortunately, my work PC uses a smart-card authentication system for our company VPN, and RDP doesn't seem to allow remote clients to interact with smart cards attached to the remote host in other words, I couldn't do any smart-card authentication on my work PC when using RDP. TigerVNC is a high-performance, platform-neutral implementation of VNC (Virtual Network Computing), a client/server application that allows users to launch and interact with graphical applications on remote machines. I want to connect to my headless work PC from my home PC.īefore I made my work PC headless, I connected to my work PC (Windows 10 Enterprise) using my home PC (Windows 10 Home) via RDP, and that worked great for everything aside from smart-card authentication.
