How Do I Uninstall and Install the Latest Version of scrcpy on Windows 11? about scrcpy

[rom1v]

The package from your distribution is outdated. You must uninstall it:

sudo apt remove scrcpy

And you must install it using these steps: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/linux.md#latest-version

Oh, sorry, for Windows, just delete your old folder, download the latest release and extract it: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/windows.md

On Windows, scrcpy is not "installed", it is just extracted to a directory. You can have several versions in different independent folders. There is nothing to "uninstall" (you can delete the directory if you want).

Could you explain step by step how to do it from the beginning, including opening the cmd window?

1. Ignore the version you already have
2. Download the latest version: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/windows.md
3. Extract it
4. Open the folder
5. Follow these instructions: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/windows.md#run

Thank you for your kindness. All the problems have been solved perfectly.

If there is a way to upgrade without uninstalling, please let me know that as well. I would like to use the screen off function while using scrcpy.

Thank you for your response. However, the link you provided is for Linux. I am a Windows user. Would it be okay if I still follow this method? Also, unfortunately, I am a complete beginner with computers. Should I use the sudo command in cmd?

Thank you very much. However, I'm afraid that if I uninstall scrcpy incorrectly, I won't be able to reinstall it. You suggested "sudo apt remove scrcpy," but the link "#1312" provides a different method. Which one is correct? As I mentioned, my brother installed scrcpy for me, and I simply clicked on the bat file. I don't know much about adb or scrcpy. Could you explain step by step how to do it from the beginning, including opening the cmd window?
