windows 10 cast to device

Hi Steven,

• Do you get any error message when you try to cast the device?
• Does the issue happen when you don't use cast to device, I mean when you are online?
• Which device do you use to cast the content?

If the issue happens only when you cast the device, the issue can be that of the casting device. In that case I would request you to execute the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select
  Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons.
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel.
  
• 
  Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
  
• 
  Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Hope this information is helpful. Thank you.
  

 

Windows 11 casting

Greetings,

I am seeking assistance with the casting function on Windows 11. I have attempted to cast my laptop screen to three different TVs, which are compatible with the casting feature and work well with other two laptops that also have Windows 11 installed. Thus, the issue seems to be related to one specific installation of Windows. My laptop meets the requirements for casting, such as Miracast and HDCP support.

I have taken several troubleshooting steps, such as disabling the firewall and antivirus, ensuring that the TV and the laptop are on the same Wi-Fi network, not using VPN, and updating the network and video drivers. My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 3060. Windows can detect the TVs as available devices for casting, but the connection fails.

I am at a loss of what else to do to resolve this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Windows Media Player 12 Not Casting

Hello. I have the same problem as the original poster. I am able to cast individual songs to Marantz receiver, but I cannot cast playlists.

Here are some additional details. I have Windows 10 and WMP12.

To cast a song in WMP12 I do the following:

1. right click song

2. select "Cast to Device"

3. select Marantz receiver (I have other device which also appear on list of options to cast to)

When I right click a playlist, and select "Cast to Device", the only option that comes up is "Cast to Device". In other words, "cast to device" appears a second time, none of my devices appear as in step 3 above when only trying to cast an individual song.

I also, after applying the suggest resolutions noted in the posts above, I tried creating a new test playlist, but I couldn't cast that playlist either.

Are there any additional steps I can take to resolve this?

Thank you.
