Preventing Blank Screens: How to Keep Monitors Anywhere Running When Locking Your Computer

If I lock my computer, the monitors go blank.

In order for Monitors Anywhere to operate properly the user must be logged in all the time to ensure Extended Desktop Mode remains operational. You must disable all security options that may cause the PC to lock automatically.


For security measures, you can lock your PC by running an application that will lock the PC, keeping the multi-monitor setup running:

  1. TSL-PRO – Transparent Screen Lock – Professional-grade application from e-motional – Offered for 7 days evaluation.
  2. VBLOCK – Simple tool to lock your screen from VBTools –  Freeware.
