PhoneEdge 1.7.2 — stays in your game

Download (all three are the same PhoneEdge 1.7.2):

• PhoneEdge-1.7.2-Setup.exe (~57 MB): run it, done. It also updates an older PhoneEdge (your settings stay). Not sure? Take this one.
• PhoneEdge-1.7.2-win-x64-bundled.zip (~79 MB): no installer, .NET included.
• PhoneEdge-1.7.2-win-x64.zip (~13 MB): for PCs that already have the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

Already on 1.6 or 1.7? Click Update now in the tray panel (or Settings → General → Check for updates). "Windows protected your PC"? PhoneEdge isn't code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway.

New

• Stay on the PC during full-screen games and videos. While a game or video fills the screen, pushing the mouse past the edge no longer jumps to the phone, so a fast flick in a game can't throw you out of it. Ctrl+Alt+Q still crosses when you want to. On by default; switch it off in Settings → Mouse & keyboard.

Fixed

• Next, Previous and Play/Pause on the phone remote work more reliably. They now go straight to the player Windows shows in its volume pop-up (Spotify, YouTube in the browser, …), even when a game, an app running as administrator or keyboard software is in front. The note at the bottom right names the player (for example "Next · Spotify").

Everything new in 1.7 (the phone's screen at the edge, arranging your PC apps on the phone, phone snips straight to the PC clipboard): see PhoneEdge 1.7.

Tested on a Honor Magic V3 (Android 16) with Windows 11. Includes scrcpy 5.0.1 (with SDL3, FFmpeg, libusb), adb and NAudio; their licenses are in the download.
