Batchfile execute only when an RDP session is active - batch-file

Question

Background:
I have stuff running automatically on my machine that does not work properly when an RDP session is active (it's because of different screen resolutions), and also not when the local machine is locked.
However, I (and several other people) are regularly working on that machine via RDP, but we are prone to forget to close the RDP session, so I created a scheduled task that runs when the PC enters idle mode that closes the RDP session and unlocks the local machine again.
The next problem was: The batch file also runs when there is no RDP connection active.
Using the power of google I found a way of making the batchfile at least quit immediately when the user is only logged in locally.
This is what my batch currently looks like
for /f "tokens=2,4" %%a in ('QUERY USER ^| FINDSTR ">"') DO (
set "consoleTemp=%%a"
set "connectionState=%%b"
set "consoleType=!consoleTemp:~0,7!"
)
SET consoleTypeCorrect=
IF "!consoleType!"=="console" goto closebatch
#echo =================================================
#echo === Remote session is closing in ONE MINUTE ===
#echo =================================================
timeout /t 60 /nobreak
for /f "skip=1 tokens=3" %%s in ('query user %USERNAME%') do (
%windir%\System32\tscon.exe %%s /dest:console
)
Endlocal
Exit
:closebatch
Endlocal
EXIT
The settings for the scheduled task above are like this:

Now, this creates another problem: the monitor of the pc stays on, because every time the pc goes idle, the task is run, the batch is executed, which apparently prevents the monitor to go to "sleep".
I have also tried to disable the setting "wake the computer to run this task, but it doesn't change this behavior.
so my main question is: How can I prevent the monitor to remain active when this task is run? or is there an even easier way to achieve the whole thing I want to achieve with this?

This might work...but i've not tested it. At least it may help or give you some ideas.
The section for turning the screen off was taken from this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/60499680/3004628
