title: Can the GUI of an RDP session remain active after disconnect
body: <p>I'm running automated testing procedures that emulates keystrokes and mouseclicks 24/7. </p>
  
  <p>Although it runs fine locally, on an RDP session it stops running once minimized or disconnected. Apparently, the GUI doesn't exist if you can't physically see it on the screen.</p>
  
  <p>There is a registry work-around for keeping the GUI active for minimizing the window, but I know of no way to keep it alive after disconnect.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, I would have this run on the server Windows console session which would not care about being disconnected but in a hosted environment (I tried Amazon and Go Daddy) there is no way to access the console session.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can get around this? Basically any solution that allows me to run my application on a VPS. I need the reliability of a host but the flexibility to run it as if I was sitting right in front. </p>
