Windows 10: Can't connect my PC to my Surface Pro 3 laptop using "Connect to Wireless Display"

/u/RedditUser_2594 · Nov 7, 2020

I'm trying to cast my PC's display to my Surface Pro 3 using the Project/Connect settings, but I'm unable to do so. I can cast my Pro 3 screen to my PC but not the other way around. I was able to connect it once, but the connection lagged out. Any suggestions or other apps I can use to be able to use my Pro 3 as a second/external monitor?

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter connection issues

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, however I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

Press Windows Logo + X.

Go to Device Manager on your Surface Pro 3.

Go to Display Adapters.

Search for Intel (HD) graphics driver.

Uninstall this graphics driver and reboot your Surface Pro 3.

After reboot, an updated Intel (HD) graphics driver should be installed. And this driver might be capable to connect to Microsoft’s Wireless Display Adapter.
