I have my personal HP laptop connected to TV via HDMI. And there is no issue to see display of my Laptop on TV alone or extend to both or whatever.

But while my family watching some stuff I would like to use this Laptop via mstsc to do my personal work. So I was looking some way to redirect the video output of players like VLC or players in websites to this TV while I'm using this laptop via mstsc.

But currently when I'm accessing it via mstsc from my other Laptop then as as expected TV screen get's locked. So currently this beast Laptop has no use for me but just playing dumb stuff all the day.

Both Laptop which is connected to TV (for which I'm looking a solution) and the one from which I want to access has Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise OS.

I tried to look for similar things on forums but couldn't find so far a clear solution for this problem.

I would be thankful for your answers.

Microsoft Remote Desktop will always lock the remote machine (as expected). I have a similar setup that serves content and games. If I want to work on it while someone is using it, I use an alternate free solution that requires no remote confirmation (like VNC or TeamViewer). If the target PC never leaves your home and is only for entertainment, you may try DisableLockWorkstation.
