These are the mini PC models running Windows 7 Pro. Screen Connect will only display a black screen when connecting to these units with no external display. I have tried different settings, wondering if anyone else had any experience with headless issues on Windows. As an FYI, I have plenty of headless HP Desktops and they work just fine. Any suggestions would be great.

A device similar to this may resolve your issues: https://www.amazon.com/E...3840x2160/dp/B07549TTSF/

I connected via SC, waited for it to load, then connected with the HDMI and configure display mirroring ("displayswitch.exe /clond"). Disconnect the HDMI again and now after several reboots it keeps the 1080p resolution when connecting via SC.
