"Disable" monitor without unplugging?

[OLS]

Is there any ways to "disable" the connection between PC and one of my monitors without having to unplug it?

Set only show display on one monitor?

DisplayFusiom does it, but thought it was windows functionality as well.

You con do it in Windows (10) . If the screen is not selected as your primary device, you can just disable it.

Yes.

Assuming you use Windows 10, you can right click your desktop, enter Display settings, highlight the monitor you want to disable and select "disconnect this display" under the "Multiple displays" drop down box.

Thank you all!

since W7 MS has integrated DisplaySwitch.exe, you can create a shortcut on the desktop

here's how: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4608-display-switch-shortcut-create-windows-10-a.html#option2

I know this thread is quite old, but I found a tool that is really useful and would like to link it for anyone who comes across this thread (like I did moments earlier). I have a laptop that I dock to an EGPU with multiple monitors, but I wanted to disable the laptop screen without closing the lid (as my laptop design gets better ventilation when open). I could not find the option to disable just the laptop screen, and since I have two external monitors, I couldn't just select "Second Screen Only". Well I found this: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html that allows me to disable any monitor. And best of all, the settings persist depending on the configuration. So when I undock, my laptop screen returns to normal usage, but if I redock (and had enabled the setting to disable my laptop monitor) it turns off. Hopefully someone keyword searching on Google like I was may come across this.
