TeamViewer without monitor in remote pc

Good afternoon,

I have a problem with TeamViewer when I try accessing a remote pc without monitor. The remote pc leave any resolution configurated, when it was with monitor, to 800x600 without monitor!
I don't want to have a monitor stoped in this pc, because I only use to do downloads like a "download center"

Is it normal this or it have something that I can do to keep the resolution configured when I access the pc without a monitor?

thank you

    I FIXED THIS FOR $7.99 (As of 1-28-2022 - for VGA desktop).

    TeamViewer uses the graphics card to work, and the graphics card gets squirrely with no VGA attached. So I connected a HDMI to VGA adapter, which made the graphics card happy. I thought of this when I noticed TeamViewer working well with a display connected yet powered off. So hooking this adapter to the end of the desktop's VGA cable works as a surrogate display. I hope this helps you.

    Here's the adapter I bought, others are likely to work.

    Also, I imagine a VGA to HDMI adapter might work for desktops with HDMI video only.
