Windows 10: Can’t project (extend) my desktop screen to laptop screen?

I’ve been trying to use my laptop sort of as a second monitor to keep discord open on. i heard about the projection feature and tried it out, didn’t work, tried it again, and it did work...then i hit a button on my laptop and it went away...now it won’t work again

on both computers,i have the projection setting set to:

some windows and android devices can project to this pc when you say it’s ok (available everywhere)

ask to project to this pc (first time only)

require PIN for pairing (never)

this PC can be discovered for projection only when it’s plugged into a power source (off)

then on my desktop i do Windows+P and then click Extend and “Connect to a wireless display” and my laptop doesn’t show up

they are both connected to the same network, what am i missing or doing wrong?

(my laptop can project onto my pc but not the other way around)

Project to a second screen

Hi Khalidshebak

The standard way to project to another screen is to press the Windows Key + P to open the Projection panel . . .

Right click your Desktop, choose new - Shortcut

Then, in the Location box, paste the appropriate text from the list below:

PC screen only

%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /internal

Duplicate

%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /clone

Extend

%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /extend

Second screen only

%windir%\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe /external

 

Laptop with broken screen How much?

I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

 

Poll: Desktop Screen Size

This goes along with my Desktop Screen Res poll. A lot of people have been posting their monitor size in addition to voting in the poll, but I wanted to make an actual poll to put the screen size votes in a more easily readable format.

This is for desktop systems, not laptops. I've tried to include all screen sizes that people are likely to have; if yours is not listed, round up. If you have multiple, different-sized screens, check all that apply. I've also listed projectors as an option.

I didn't list individual sizes over 32" as these are typically not intended as PC monitors; just select "Larger."
