RDS Physical Host; no local console

Hi, I have built a Windows 2019 Server RDS physical Host, connected to Horizon View 7.7 and it works well.

However, just as the documentation tells you, the local console is blacked out (you can see the mouse cursor only). It says for privacy reasons.

That's all nice and dandy but damm! I need to be able to 'locally' manage this machine. I have uninstalled the agent, removed the Session Host role, but still my screen is black.

Short of trashing the whole thing, how can I restore local video? I can RDP into the machine and see; just not local console.

Maybe a reg key of some sort to turn this 'feature' on and off as needed, or 'desired'

Please help.
