[Guilherme Marçal Silva]

  Okay, testing of KDE Connect on WIndows:
  
  KDE Connect: kdeconnect-kde_Release_win64 - Build 556 - https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows 64-bit/job/kdeconnect-kde_Release_win64/
  
  Keyboard and Mouse control: Works
  
  Media Playback controls + volume: Works partially. It did work the first time, later I tried again (after unpluging my headphones) and it stopped working completely. I used VLC.
  
  Ring computer: Works
  Ring phone: Works partially (I had to unlock my phone first. Android app bug?)
  Ping phone: Works
  Receive Notificatins from Phone: Works
  Send Windows notifications to phone: Didn't work, even after enabling the option on the Android app.
  
  Control Presentations: Not sure if it works fully since I don't have a office suite installed. But on Windows default picture viewer it did "do stuff" when pressing buttons on the app: pressing next and previous buttons made the app leave fullscreen but it didn't do the intended action, pressing on the pointer button on the app showed a black screen with a glowy blue circle inside I could control with motion.
  
  Browse device from Windows: It popped up a window asking which app I wanted to select to access a sftp. Windows Explorer wasn't an option and since I have no other app to use I couldn't get it to work.
  
  Send files from phone to Windows: Works
  Send files from Windows to phone: Didn't work. The app on Android shows a notification saying the operation failed.
  
  SMS messaging: It lists messages but as soon as you click on one the SMS app crashes.
  
  Phone battery indicator: Works
  
  Commands: Don't work since they are commands specific to Plasma.
  
  Pictures and MprisRemote: I don't know how to use it. :|
  
  Contacts synchronization: I don't know how it works, but the contact folder in Windows had nothing inside.
  
  Call control: Works and I can also silence it from Windows :D
  
  Screen saver inhibition: Didn't work, but it's probably not a problem since screensavers are hidden behind the old interface on Windows and most people don't use them for that reason.
  
  Clipboard from Windows to Android: Works
  Clipboard from Android to Windows: Doesn't work
  
  --------------------
  
  The app crashed once when trying to close it, restarting the app made it not find my phone and I had to restart Windows. Can't reproduce again.
