Amazon Fire TV Stick greyed out in Devices & Printers

Hi Matt,

Let's get your Fire TV stick working. To troubleshoot the issue, follow the steps below:

• On the Search bar, type Device Manager.
• Open Device Manager and click Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click the Fire TV and click Properties.
• Go to Driver tab and click Uninstall.
• Once uninstalled, remove the stick.
• To reinstall the driver, plug back in the Fire TV stick and the PC will automatically install the driver.

Let us know the outcome.

 

mirror fire stick

I have been continuing to try to mirror my windows 10 2in1 (Lenovo) to my Amazon Fire

Stick. I have followed all the instructions posted and available on line. I can set the FT to search for devices. Then I click the Connect in the notifications area which results in listing the fire stick. So I can only conclude it is seeing it. I then click
on that device (FS) and the TV displays that is it setting up to mirror this device. This confirms they are seeing each other. Then the stick just reports it is "exiting" and the computer lists that the connection failed.

This discussion has been going on for a couple years after reading all the posts. But no firm solutions posted.

What do we need to do? Isn't Miracast a standard?

 

Windows 10 and Fire Stick Miracast issue

Hi Matthew,

I appreciate the efforts which you took to get the issue resolved.

Since you are not able to find the fire stick, I would request you to execute the hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

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.
  

Please revert if the fires tick still does not get recognized.

Thank you.
