OTG on Windows 10/11 (libusb error: Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform)

Author: geekaz01dCreated Jan 2, 2023Updated Sep 27, 2026

I have read the FAQ.
I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

OS: Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11 Pro
scrcpy version:

scrcpy 1.24 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
Dependencies (compiled / linked):
    - SDL: 2.0.22 / 2.0.22
    - libavcodec: 59.18.100 / 59.18.100
    - libavformat: 59.16.100 / 59.16.100
    - libavutil: 57.17.100 / 57.17.100

installation method: choco install scrcpy

More details: - USB cable from PC to Tablet - problem recreated with two systems (Win10 vs Win11) and two tablets (both same model/release) with and without adb installed

Describe the bug While screen remoting works great (impressively clean implementation!), I am unable to get --otg mode to work. It appears like an incompatibility or limitation in Windows? There are a number of issues that smell similar but have cryptic titles and slightly different output, so I've made this as a new issue.

My aim is to get a clear answer as to whether otg support for windows is confirmed a no-go or not.
