Description
Discussed in https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/2159

Describe the bug you encountered:
Most of our workstations in the studio turn their screens off after 10 min. That's standard and recommended Windows behavior. At that point, Rustdesk can no longer connect to that workstation showing it offline.
...
What did you expect to happen instead?
Since the workstations is not offline, just its screen is off, Rustdesk shouldn't declare that workstation offline and just connect to it.
...
How did you install RustDesk?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 using RustDesk 1.1.9, with the remote workstation screen turned off, and confirm whether it is reported offline and cannot be connected to. Trace the workstation status and connection handling involved in that state. Done means a workstation with its screen off remains reported online and accepts a remote connection.
