By checking Enable Blank Screen option on the streamer / Security tab, it should work to blank the remote computer's screen when in a remote session in most cases.

If it does not work, please follow below instructions to apply a workaround.

  1. Go to the streamer installation folder, then Driver/Monitor folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server\Driver\Monitor
  2. Right click on the install bat file, then run as administrator.
