Trying to manage my mom's Linux Lite desktop remotely from my Win10 desktop. I installed Anydesk and I can access her screen remotely if the screen is unlocked. I.e., no screensaver enabled, just "display off" after 5 minutes of inactivity, using the power settings.
I don't want to leave her PC unprotected, however. So instead of powering off the display, I enabled a "black" screensaver after 5 minutes and "locking" after 1 minute.
Problem is in this state, when I try to access her display remotely, Anydesk sees her machine is online, but when I connect it hangs on "waiting for image". I can't interact with her login screen.
I don't think it's an Anydesk issue, because I have another family member running Ubuntu 18.04 and I can see that lock screen and remotely log in.
Any tips or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
