Fake VGA Monitor
Raw
fake-vga-monitor
This is by far not the ideal solution, but for now it will do: I put a 102 Ohm resistor across pins 2 and 7 of my VGA port (also known as the headless Mac Mini trick), and Windows 10 now believes I have a second monitor attached.
On a different computer I had to use pins 1 and 6 and reboot before the "monitor" would work.
