RDP unresponsive on my Ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to remote, RDP, my Ubuntu Desktop version 20.04 LTS from my Windows 10 machine. The Ubuntu machine is use primarily for my Plex server. So it's a standalone machine without a screen and a keyboard/mouse. I tried everything, from TeamViewer to VLC to Windows RDP.

The connection to the machine is not the problem, but when I connect with either software mention earlier nothing is moving on the screen it's like frozen. The only time it's actually working is if I plug a screen on the machine. Now TeamViewer, VLC and RDP are working like a charm. I don't want a screen on the PC since it's in a location where I have minimal space. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install Ubuntu Server for that to work?

I'm confused why you need a screen or RDP or VLC at all. Plex uses a web based interface. You administer the server remotely using SSH. You administer Plex remotely using a web browser. Are you trying to run Gnome merely to administer the server? Did you misconfigure Plex to localhost only? — user535733, Jan 27 '21 at 03:50
