What "happens" to a Windows VM after disabling RDP?

Given:
1) A virtual machine with Windows Server 2012
2) A clicker program that performs some kind of routine work
Problem:
After exiting RDP, the clicker program stops correctly "getting" to the specified places.
As far as I understand (although my opinion may be wrong), this is due to the display turning off.
And all the coordinates "go astray".
Now I have to keep my home computer turned on so that the autoclicker program continues to work.
But with the same success, it was possible to avoid an extra intermediary and put it on your car.
It would be desirable to use virtual in isolation.
Question:
How to automate clicks on a virtual machine without an active RDP connection?
Perhaps there is some "safe" screen resolution that I can set the clicker to?

What "happens" to a Windows VM after disabling RDP?
Nothing happens, it continues to work, like all applications in it, just the desktop is not displayed. There is nowhere to display it - the local user is not logged in, and the remote user is disconnected.
After exiting RDP, the clicker program stops correctly "getting" to the specified places.
Of course.
After exiting RDP, the program simply has nowhere to go - these places are completely absent. The monitor has nothing to do with it. It is not needed there, just the graphical interface is not active, as unnecessary.
You are trying to click on a button in the browser - but the browser and the button are not displayed, they are not there, although the browser is working.

Install a teamviewer, connect through it, and run it.
If you need to start automatically, at boot - set up the user's autologin to the system, and autorun.

So if you have a virtual machine, then run the clicker not from the RDP session, but from the console of the virtual machine.
