Show Windows Phone Screen on PC

Q: How can I view everything on my Windows Phone on my Windows desktop?

A: Microsoft's new Project My Screen application initially runs in full-screen mode when you launch it. If you click escape, it will run in a window. (Alternatively, you can press F to toggle window/full screen.) Connect your Windows Phone to your PC via USB; when your phone displays the prompt to allow screen projection, click Yes. Once you're connected, you can customize certain items. For example, follow these steps to configure whether touch is shown on the display:

This application works great, with no noticeable lag. It's useful for demonstrations. The following table lists several hot keys that you can use. To display these hot keys, press F1.

If you experience problems, try launching Device Manager with the phone plugged in; under Portable Devices and Universal Serial Bus Devices, delete the Windows Phone devices. Then unplug the phone from the USB and plug it in again.
