scrcpy when a particular device is connected:

1. Open Event Viewer & go to Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft >
Windows > DeviceSetupManager > Admin.
2. (If connected, disconnect the device you want to use scrcpy with, then)
Connect the device (you may need to select MTP/File Transfer or Charge

4. Look for a recent event with Level: Information & Event ID: 112.
5. Click the event to open it, then open the Details tab and select XML View.
6. The XML should look similar to the screenshot below, with a unique ID
for the device concerned (highlighted in the red box). Make note of this
entire ID, including '{}', for use in the next steps.

</Query>
</QueryList>
