Remarks
This table lists the GUIDs of standard MTP device services that can be passed to the serviceId parameter. For more information about these MTP devices services, see MTP Device Services for Windows.
While the standard device services are all MTP device services, non-MTP devices may also support services. An MTP device may also support additional device services that are not standard device services. Check with the device manufacturer to find out what device services are supported on a given WPD device.
