First of all thanks to EugeneLoy and unknown for me the author of the command :-)
Today 2.6.2023 - it works for me. Conditions - Win10 22H2. Two monitors. Both displays are turned off one time.

FYI I've discovered that this doesn't play nice with my monitor that supports DDC/CI control. https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray/ works though.
