Windows 10: How do I connect my HP laptop to my LG TV?

I cannot connect my HP laptop model 14s-dq2514sa with Windows 11 to my LG TV UT73006LA to screen share. My phone will screen share so I know the problem is with the laptop. I have tried restarting my laptop multiple times, reinstalling wifi and checking drivers but it will not screen share. I have also made sure network connectivity setting and media sharing settings allow devices to pair. The TV seems to register the laptop is trying to connect as it says so on screen but then the screen just goes black and then pack to the home page

I'm having trouble with connecting my HP laptop to my LG TV via Wi-Fi Direct. I have my laptop discoverable and on the same network as my TV but it doesn't show up as an option to select.

Hello Bianca Wallace1

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Connecting your HP laptop to your LG TV using Wi-Fi Direct involves several steps, and there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Wi-Fi Direct Compatibility: Ensure both your HP laptop and LG TV support Wi-Fi Direct. While most modern devices do, it's always a good idea to check the specifications or user manuals to confirm.
   
2. Wi-Fi Direct Activation on LG TV: On your LG TV, you might need to explicitly enable Wi-Fi Direct. This can usually be found in the network settings. Look for an option labeled "Wi-Fi Direct" and make sure it's turned on.
   
3. Laptop Connectivity Settings: On your HP laptop, ensure that Wi-Fi is turned on and you have Wi-Fi Direct enabled. In Windows 10, you can do this by going to "Settings" > "Network & Internet" > "Wi-Fi" and then scrolling down to "Wi-Fi Direct". If your operating system is different, the steps might vary slightly.
   
4. Network Discovery: Ensure network discovery is enabled on your laptop. This setting allows your computer to be visible to other devices on the network. You can find this setting in the Control Panel under "Network and Sharing Center" > "Change advanced sharing settings". Make sure "Turn on network discovery" is selected.
   
5. Software Updates: Check if there are any pending software or firmware updates for both your LG TV and HP laptop. Keeping devices updated can resolve many connectivity issues.
   
6. Interference and Distance: Make sure there are no significant physical obstructions or interference from other wireless devices between your laptop and TV. Also, try to reduce the distance between them if possible.
   
7. Alternative Connection Methods: If Wi-Fi Direct continues to be problematic, consider alternative methods for connecting your laptop to your TV, such as HDMI, Miracast (for Windows devices), or using a third-party streaming device like Chromecast or Apple TV.
   

If after trying these steps you're still facing issues, it might be helpful to refer to the user manuals for your specific HP laptop model and LG TV or contact their customer support for more detailed assistance.

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
