Regarding Project to this PC

Hi,

Recent changes or updates applied to your devices can affect the connection from your PC to your tablet. It could be a delay on both devices, try reconnecting them back by disabling and enabling the option. Since you were able to connect before, we'd like
to ask you a few questions:

• Can you tell us your settings under Projecting to this PC?
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
• Were there any recent changes or updates applied to the PC or tablet?
