Windows 10: Android asks for screen cast permission every time SOLVED

While looking for the answer to this I came across a bunch of similar questions here that did not have a solution and were locked to replies. So I'm posting a new pre-answered question hoping it helps someone. It's a workaround but it's easy, one-time and you won't get this suggestion from Microsoft, Google or Samsung.

Lack of input support during Android smartphone screen casting

Hello,

can I ask the moderator if there's or will ever be a fix for the lack of input support in screen casting Android smartphones?

When I start the Connect app on my laptop screen mirroring come out immediately and phone display is readly replicated but also at this time notification comes up asking to activate touch support in Action center, but my device isn't listed and searching go
timeout, so it's impossible to reach the option.

Also when I try to add manually the phone via device manager laptop-side clicking "Add a bluetooth device or other..." the device eventually is listed or not and pairing fails.

I bought my new laptop with touch screen functionality especially for this feature.

Laptop is fully updated latest drivers; smartphone running android 8.0 and fully working. This exact functionality works perfect on my Android tv with six-axis remote. Also with Samsung Flow application screen mirroring works flawlessly, touch input replication
included.
