    If that quick skim of what's available for mirroring and _interacting_ with Android over Windows (Wi-Fi & USB), then scrcpy is perhaps a good choice indeed (since it works completely on Windows using methods we already have).

    Woo hoo!

    Today I needed to screenshot the Android phone from Windows over Wi-Fi by putting the Android phone into "scroll" mode, which requires simultaneous pressing of _two_ hardware buttons & then a subsequent tapping on a box containing a "scroll down" icon that then pops up on the Android screen.

    Given the FOSS scrcpy developers (actually, it was Genymotion who donated
    the src apparently) have apparently thought of everything, it was easy.

    The hardware buttons to press simultaneously are:
    a. Power Key
    b. Volume Down key

    That was accomplished by pressing, in Windows the:
    MOD key + downarrow (i.e., the volume down key) & p (i.e., the power key)

    Essentially the left hand holds down the MOD key (aka the leftalt key).
    And the right hand simultaneously presses the downarrow & p keyboard keys.

    You need big hands, where, luckily, mine are XXL so it's no problem for me.

    BTW, you can even expand and collapse the notification panel:
    a. Expand Notification Panel === Mod + n
    b. Collapse Notification Panel === Mod + Shift + n

    But one of the _neatest_ tricks was the drag and drop of an APK file! <https://i.postimg.cc/wvsbcNBz/scrcpy05.jpg>

    Literally, you drag _any_ APK from your PC file system onto the mirrored Android Window, and it's _silently_ completely installed automatically!

    How kewl is that!

    If you consider that a WebDAV server mounts the _entire_ Android phone
    system (even the system root filesystem!) onto Windows as a drive letter, coupled with the FOSS Google Play Store client _not_ deleting APKs after they're installed off of the Google Play Store... then you have complete drag-and-drop access to _all_ the APKs you've ever installed - on _multiple_ phones which are on your LAN - all completely seamlessly and silently! <https://i.postimg.cc/hjkVFyqJ/scrcpy07.jpg> Android mounted as a Win drive

    This FOSS Windows scrcpy program is an instant keeper! <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>

    It's so simple... the developers have thought of almost everything already! --

    How many more chances does Sigmond's extremely dim witted ass (a shoe knows more than Sigmond and is useful) need to prove their Chrisv flooding accusation with support? Another keg you mean, Sigmond drinks them down damn quick.

    Sigmond is trying again to slander McAfee. And given how often it is clear
    that Sigmond's post is some twist of a quote Chrisv wrote which had been
    a blow on Sigmond for something he did which was asinine/dishonest/etc...
    its undoubtedly a repeated reminder of Sigmond's unending distress for
    having been so often crushed: Sigmond is clearly not able of dealing with
    this group.

    Update.

    The summary below is posted because I'm an intelligent, kind-hearted, purposefully helpful netizen who cares that others can do what I was
    able to do given a few hours learning how to mirror Android perfectly
    on Windows (where all the tricks below were learned on this newsgroup!). <https://i.postimg.cc/N0G1TXcZ/scrcpy01.jpg> Mirror Android on any PC <https://i.postimg.cc/tTmdgKTB/scrcpy02.jpg> An efficient program setup <https://i.postimg.cc/Vvrq0K0m/scrcpy03.jpg> The efficient setup explained

    SUMMARY:
    To mirror Android on Windows over Wi-Fi or USB, tap the custom shortcut.
    Or tap the taskbar Run icon & enter "scrcpy<return>".
    To screenshot _just_ the Android window, press "Ctrl+LeftArrow"
    Voila!

    The dozen well-organized setups below are how _all_ programs should be set up.
    0. The {adb,scrcpy} FOSS zip file is at <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
    1. The executable is saved in c:\archive\editor\android\scrcpy\scrcopy.zip
    2. The program is installed to c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy\{adb,scrcpy}.exe 3. The shortcut is saved to c:\menu\editor\android\scrcpy.lnk
    4. The menu is pinned to the taskbar (note all hierarchies mirror each other) 5. The apppath RUN command is: Win+R > scrcpy
    6. That runs [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\scrcpy.exe]
    7. Which is defined as: [@Default=c:\menu\editor\android\scrcpy.lnk]
    8. The TARGET is: %comspec% /k cd /d "c:\app\editor\android\scrcpy" && adb connect 192.168.0.2:5555 && scrcpy --always-on-top --tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555
    9. The ICON is: c:\icon\editor\android\scrcpy\scrcpy.ico
    10. From: https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/smart-phones-technologies/512/android-phone-color.png
    11. The mount command is: net use Z: \\192.168.0.2@8080\DavWWWRoot /USER:andy burnelli
    12. The Irfanview capture command is: capture_$U(%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)_###

    Those dozen setup steps make running & managing screen mirroring easy!
    a. To mirror Android, just type "scrcpy" on Windows
    (Zero software needs to be on Android as this is transparent to Android!)
    b. You can save from Windows _directly_ to Android since _all_ of Android is mounted as a drive letter (the entire phone, even the read-only system!)
    c. You can paste the Windows clipboard to Android with "Shift+Leftalt+V"
    (all other cut/copy/paste commands work as you are already used to)
    d. You can operate Android hardware buttons using that "LeftAlt" MOD key (e.g., "LeftAlt+UpArrow" presses the volume up key by one notch each time) <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#readme>

    As always, if you can find a way to _improve_ this process, please post your added value as Usenet is where purposefully helpful kind-hearted people help each other by sharing the knowledge as a team sport for the benefit of all!

    This will be saved in the permanent Usenet records for future reference: <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/Pmcqi4Mvuhw> <https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/eMYBmpq2H50>

    He's undeniably trolling, he got called out on it and he's doing the familiar defensive rubbish taught in Trolling 101 as he knocks himself out to regain
    his story... but it will fail. You've proven nothing. Commander Kinsey
    must appreciate that others can go get whatever software he has found,
    right, medhead? Meanwhile, anyone can can set a KF, which renders _his_
    usenet group attack harmless, just like Commander Kinsey ;)

    No no hell no. Commander Kinsey never agreed to stop flooding. He lied
    about his trolling of course. That's what Commander Kinsey does when he
    gets mad. He of course creates a nym, starts a cross posted thread so
    he can claim it was Snit. Don't blame me it was my left hand... and then Commander Kinsey talks to his own post with his right hand.
