  1. Help with Cast to Device


    Currently running a Windows 10 Pro x64. Windows Version 20H2. Its a Laptop on a home network. While trying to tidy up some User Profile Backups on my network NAS, I noticed that in my actual user profile folder, my Music, Picture and Videos folder all have a Cast To Device Option in the right click context menu. While exploring what It can or cant do. I noticed that this option is not available in other folders like for Instance Desktop or Folders in my desktop folder. What I would like to do is add this option to cast on any folder. The folders, as I would imagine, need to only have content that is capable of being cast, such as music, videos or photos. Is this possible? I have tried to google it, but the only thing coming up is how to disable it entirely.

    :)

    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.
