Notice: this is an exploit, tools used: IDA Pro and API Monitor v2.

Getting started

Download and install ParsecVDD:

Use this interface GUID to get device handle.

const GUID PARSEC_VDD_DEVINTERFACE = \
  { 0x00b41627, 0x04c4, 0x429e, { 0xa2, 0x6e, 0x02, 0x65, 0xcf, 0x50, 0xc8, 0xfa } };
  
HANDLE device = OpenDeviceHandle(PARSEC_VDD_DEVINTERFACE);

Here's the way to control VDD:

enum VddCtlCode {
    IOCTL_VDD_CONNECT = 0x22A008,
    IOCTL_VDD_ADD = 0x22E004,
    IOCTL_VDD_UPDATE = 0x22A00C,
};

void VddIoCtl(HANDLE vdd, VddCtlCode code) {
    BYTE InBuffer[32]{};
    int OutBuffer = 0;
    OVERLAPPED Overlapped{};
    DWORD NumberOfBytesTransferred;

    Overlapped.hEvent = CreateEventW(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
    DeviceIoControl(vdd, code, InBuffer, _countof(InBuffer), &OutBuffer, sizeof(OutBuffer), NULL, &Overlapped);
    GetOverlappedResult(vdd, &Overlapped, &NumberOfBytesTransferred, TRUE);

    if (Overlapped.hEvent && Overlapped.hEvent != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
        CloseHandle(Overlapped.hEvent);
}

And these are generic functions to interact with VDD:

void VddThread(HANDLE vdd, bool &running) {
    // Plug in monitor.
    VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_CONNECT);
    VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_UPDATE);
    VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_ADD);
    VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_UPDATE);
    // Keep monitor connection.
    for (running = true; running; ) {
        Sleep(100);
        VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_UPDATE);
    }
}

bool PlugInMonitor(HANDLE &vdd, HANDLE &vddThread, bool &running) {
    char devpath[1024];
    for (int idx = 0; idx < 5; idx++) {
        // Hardcode device path.
        sprintf(devpath, "\\\\?\\root#display#000%d#%s", idx, "{00b41627-04c4-429e-a26e-0265cf50c8fa}");    
        vdd = CreateFileA(devpath, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

        if (vdd && vdd != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
            vddThread = CreateThread(VddThread);
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}

void PlugOutMonitor(HANDLE vdd, HANDLE vddThread, bool &running) {
    running = false;
    WaitForSingleObject(vddThread, INFINITE);

    // Reconnect to unplug monitor.
    VddIoCtl(vdd, IOCTL_VDD_CONNECT);
    CloseHandle(vdd);
}

A simple usage:

int main()
{
    bool running;
    HANDLE vdd, vddThread;

    if (PlugInMonitor(vdd, vddThread, running)) {
        Sleep(5000);
        PlugOutMonitor(vdd, vddThread, running);
    }
}
