Current Windows behavior when display turned off #7

I've learned and experienced that currently Windows no longer considers turned off monitors as inactive, meaning that if you keep the monitor cable (HDMI or DP) connected, and turn off the monitor, Windows keeps extending the desktop to that turned OFF monitor. This is perhaps even more annoying than the reason you wrote the application here.

Just wanted to raise discussion on this recent change in Windows as I'm wondering of writing similar application that would detect monitor being turned off and making Windows ignore that monitor - if that would be technically possible to implement via software.
