Windows 10: Can't wirelessly cast Win11 to Samsung Q80

My Samsung Q80 65 TV isn't wirelessly screen sharing with my PC. When I search for available TVs, I get to see other Samsung models from neighbors Q60 Series 55, 5 Series 43, for example, but not mine. I've been struggling with this for months. This same TV worked perfectly with my Mac. I tried to reset my TV to factory settings and the problem persists. I'm using Win11. Could I be missing some driver on my PC? Any ideas? :

Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

Thanks Bree.

The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

 

Cast windows desktop to a projector wirelessly through home network

My projector has a wireless connection to the home network. Is there some way of sending the windows desktop to the projector? The PC is not a laptop!

Projector advertises can connect a phone wirelessly thru the network. It is nothing I have attempted to do yet.

Right now I use a firestick or an HDMI switch and a cable and bypass the windows 10 pc, but would be nice to just not have the HDMI cable snaking along the floor.
There does exist HDMI wireless senders and receivers, but they are very pricey.

How to Wirelessly Mirror Windows to a Projector?
Did find the above and perhaps using google chrome to cast itself to the projector, does EDGE do cast like Chrome?

For a non mira cast projector

"Unlike Apple AirPlay, Google Cast also works in the Windows environment, although differently from Miracast. For many people who are more comfortable with Android-based apps, Google Cast may be a very appealing choice. However, Google Cast requires using Google Chrome, which is not compatible with Wi-Fi Direct. So, you can’t simply press Windows + K/Windows +P to create a direct connection between your laptop (or tablet) and a smart projector.
What you can do is open up Chrome, then click the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the screen. Look down and you’ll see the “Cast…” prompt. Click on it and you’ll see the BenQ EH620 listed as a found device. Click on it to begin the mirroring process. Unlike Miracast, Google Cast requires external Wi-Fi so both your source device and the smart projector you’re connecting to need to be on the same wireless network, or SSID. We have more information regarding this if you’re interested."

So far not finding much, but the DXDIAG report says this PC supports Miracast.
