   Wow. That was a very nice explanation. Thank you for helping out.

   When you say "window" in that sentence, with respect to the option of having   
   that window be "hidden", can the scrcpy "console" window be hidden?

   Actually, if I said that, I was wrong.   
   a. Closing the graphical Android window will close the scrcpy console too.   
   b. And vice versa. Closing the scrcpy console will close the Android GUI.

   Actually, hiding the scrcpy console window is _exactly_ what I want.   
   There isn't any way to interact with it (AFAIK); so it's just a waste   
   (IMHO). I'm sure the developers think it's useful; but I don't see any value   
   in it so I Minimize it but that means I still have to deal with it being   
   there adding to clutter on my taskbar.

   Normally I hit the "[x]" button on the Window of the graphical Android GUI.   
   That kills both the Android GUI window & the scrcpy console window.   
      
   How can I tell the "scrcpy console" to be hidden?
