UPDATE: For ease of use, from within your PICO 4, please download the system settings APK using the link below to your PICO 4 and install it. This will allow you to access the android settings where you can then access network and enable USB Tethered from there, which does away from having to deal with ADB on Windows.

***If you still want to use ADB then follow the steps below:
How to enable USB Tethering:
- Download and install the standalone Android adb tool kit for windows using this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools. Do not install the usb tethered driver prompted during installation, this driver causes issues with windows such blue screens.
- You can get USB Tethering Enabled on the Pico 4 and use Virtual Desktop wired! This really helped shave a few ms off of latency and really helped reliability.
- The trick is to get your Pico 4 into USB debugging mode (tapping the software version a few times, then going to Developer in the Pico 4).
- Then, connect a USB 3.0 cable and run this adb command via your connected PC command line "CMD":
adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.TetherSettings && adb shell input keyevent 20 && adb shell input keyevent 20 && adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_ENTER && sleep 2 && adb shell input keyevent 4
- That will enable USB tethering, which Windows 10 should see a new network is connected.
- Virtual Desktop will prioritize this connection -- you can even turn off wireless after connecting with Virtual Desktop to save on some battery. I recommend putting that adb command in a .bat file to make it super easy to apply.
- To disable USB Tethering run the command below on your Windows CMD:
adb shell svc usb setFunctions
