For the measured winget installation, this command runs the package’s uninstall flow.

winget uninstall --id Genymobile.scrcpy --exact

Check the result

Get-Process -Name 'scrcpy','adb' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id Genymobile.scrcpy --exact

No process output means no matching process was observed. A completed installation query with no match means the measured registration is absent; a query error does not prove removal.
