In the Getting Started guide, the 3.4 Compilation subsection for 3.4.3 Windows should contain a clue to add the MSYS2-bin to the Windows PATH variable. If this is not done on a vanilla Windows system (which most non-developing users probably have), the compiled ngscopeclient won't run when started from the Windows Explorer (i.e. from outside of a UCRT shell) and complain about some missing DLLs.
To emphasize this step, I would propose to make it number two in the current list and renumber all the following ones.

Add the \ucrt64\bin directory from MSYS2 (usually "C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin") to the Windows PATH variable:

  • Press Windows key
  • Type sysdm.cpl and press Enter
  • In the System Properties window click the Advanced tab
  • Click the Environment Variables button
  • Double-click on the entry for Variable "Path" in the section Environment Variables for (your username)
  • Click New and enter C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin
