I have an old laptop as an HTPC for my TV. I don't actually use the laptop's screen, just the TV with a wireless keyboard. I figured I should migrate to Windows 10 from 7 which was relatively harmless except for one thing.

Windows 10 does not like having the primary monitor turned off. I have tried all of the following and the laptop's monitor always re-enables after I turn the TV off and on or after a restart of the laptop.

  1. Using the Nvidia control panel to say only show on the secondary (TV) monitor.
  2. Using the built-in Display settings screen to turn off the primary the monitor
  3. Popular Internet suggestion - hit Win + P and click Secondary Monitor only.

I tried updating my Nvidia drivers last week which was my only idea :(
