Question: I'm using an HDMI monitor with my Windows 10 tablet, with the `Show only on 2` option.

While it works fine, I can see that the display on the tablet itself is still on with a but with no image - really annoying in the dark and wasting battery/screen life for no good reason.

How can I turn it off?

BTW:

* The touchscreen is also on.
* The intel HD drivers are installed correctly

Answer: 
Russel, this is completely achievable on a low level. Most hard drives are actually larger then what is displayed to the end user even on a whole disk view, not just a partition view. 

These settings are managed in the Host Protected Area (HPA) or it is sometimes called the Disk Configuration Overlay (DCO)

In fact, most spinning platter hard drives actually come with a number of bad sectors from the manufacturer, and these sectors are already marked "bad" in the HPA, and as such do not show up as part of the drive size and cannot be written to. It is completely possible to "mark" half of the sectors on a drive as "bad" with a low level HPA tool. It's also a way to hide data from prying eyes. 

One tool that can be used to modify the HPA of a hard drive is hdparm.

You will need to create a single partition sized to 100gb and ignore the other free space.
