Windows 10: Cannot project my PC to TV via wireless connection anymore

I have a smart TV and I can connect my laptop via project screen wireless connection, this was working fine and one day it would not connect, so I tried troubleshooting and somebody told me to press windows button plus the K button which I did and it brought up a menu to project to my PC not me project. After playing with this and it not working I gave up on it, I ended up figuring out that my bf's laptop was connected but he wasn't actually on it so that's why it wouldn't originally connect. I disconnected his laptop and shut it down and then tried to connect mine like I used to via my quick

Unable to project PC screen to TV

Hi Saidy,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are not able to project the PC screen to TV. It would be great if you can answer these questions to assist you in a better way.

1. What is the make and model of the PC and TV?
   
2. What happens when you try to project to TV?
   
3. Were you able to project the laptop screen to TV earlier?
   

Miracast is a wireless technology your PC can use to project your screen to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players that also support Miracast. You can use this to share what you’re doing on your
PC, present a slide show, or even play your favorite game on a larger screen.

I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions from
Fix connections to wireless displays or docks

Hope it helps.

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?

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 :
