Hello,
I'm using RGS on a Windows 10 sender with a Quadro P1000 card and the computer has no physical monitors attached. I would like to force the computer to always act as if there are two 2560x1440 monitors connected.
I have gone into the Nvidia Control Panel and can manually set the computer to have two 2560x1440 monitors, but these settings don't stick. When I logout of RGS and log back in, or when the computer is rebooted, the monitor settings get changed. Is there a way to force the settings permanently so that all users that login will always have two monitors set to 2560x1440?

The EDID files that you have loaded, is the native resolution greater than 2560x1440? Sounds like it could be going back to the native resolution. On disconnect, the sender monitors should revert to their original configuration. Disabled monitors should be re-enabled, and virtual monitors should be destroyed. Resolutions, positions, and orientations should be set back to their original values. Mainly the sender is set back to its orignal values so that the next user can match their resolution and/or layout.
For headless, technically you don't have to load more than one EDID file when using the setting in the Receiver GUI - "Set Sender display(s) to match Receiver display(s)". If you have a dual monitor setup on your receiver, and the resolution can be matched by the sender, then you should get two displays when you connect. You can also setup Receiver display properties for your two receiver displays and use the third setting to match resolution and layout in the Receiver GUI.
The key thing for resolution matching is that both the sender and receiver must be able to support the resolution(s) being requested. If you connect without using resolution matching in the Receiver GUI, and then go into your display settings once connected, if you can manually set the resolution(s), then Remote Boost should be able to as well.
