Yes, there is a timeout method available for the adb wait-for-device command on Windows. By default, adb wait-for-device will wait indefinitely until a device is connected or until a command is executed. However, you can set a timeout value to limit the waiting time.

Here's how you can set a timeout for adb wait-for-device on Windows:

  1. Open the command prompt (CMD) or PowerShell on your Windows computer.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) executable (adb.exe) is located. Usually, it is found in the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK installation directory. For example, the default path is: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools.
  3. Enter the following command to set the timeout value in milliseconds:
shell
adb wait-for-device -t <timeout>

Replace <timeout> with the desired timeout value in milliseconds. For instance, if you want to set a timeout of 10 seconds (10,000 milliseconds), the command would be:

shell
adb wait-for-device -t 10000
  1. Press Enter to execute the command.

This will cause adb wait-for-device to wait for the specified timeout period. If the device doesn't connect within the specified time, it will exit and return an error message.

Note that the timeout value should be set according to your requirements, considering the time it typically takes for your device to connect.
