Windows 10: "Add Device," "Connect," and "Connect to a wireless display" window keeps closing:...

Hey everyone,

I just installed the November 2019 update. I am having issues adding a device in order to connect wirelessly to my tv. Using several of the various ways to wirelessly cast to a device, each time I open up the window to add a device, the window immediately closes. Yes - my laptop is indefinitely enabled for Miracasting, but I can't access the add device page as it just closes the window instantly. Any idea on what the solution to this is? I've ran sfc scannow, some powershell commands, and other suggested tips with no avail. The window keeps closing before it can even search for a device.

Thanks!

Project connect to wireless device issue

Hi Kari,

Thanks for the reply.

My tv is definitely connected to my wifi; I've tried restarting the tv, and disconnecting/reconnecting to my wifi, but the tv still isn't showing up in the list of devices when trying to use 'project'.

I actually had issues with this before, but after a significant update about a week ago, I noticed that it was showing up in the devices list. I'm unsure what could have changed tonight.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there maybe some way to 'clear' (for lack of a better word) any saved devices on my laptop so I can start fresh with project?

 

Project connect to wireless device issue

Thanks for this suggestion; it's made me realise that I think it might be a problem with my tv after all, because now it won't come up anymore in the list of devices. I better check out some help for this tv; maybe something got turned off by mistake.

Thanks :
