Windows 10: Cannot switch project Windows + P off of "PC screen only"

I have an XP Pen drawing tablet that I want to use with my PC, but the display does not turn on. I know the problem is with the project mode and I just have to turn it onto anything other than "PC screen only" for it to work. However, I am unable to switch the project mode from PC screen only. Every time I try it just reverts back when I close the window.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my display adapter, using different ports on my PC, and almost every other method that I could find online. None of these work, and I'm looking for a solution.

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

Additional Information:

Hope it helps.
