Windows 10: How to fix my laptop never leaving the _____ is about to project screen when using it as a...

Recently I have been using my laptop as a second monitor to my desktop for when I'm at home and have access to my desktop. I have been using the wireless display app to achieve this, and most of the time my desktop has no issues seeing and connecting to my laptop, but the laptop never changes screens and just stays on the "______ is about to project" message. I have already tried removing it as a device and reconnecting numerous times, but I don't know where to go from there.

Hi Saidy,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are not able to project the PC screen to TV. It would be great if you can answer these questions to assist you in a better way.

1. What is the make and model of the PC and TV?
   
2. What happens when you try to project to TV?
   
3. Were you able to project the laptop screen to TV earlier?
   

Miracast is a wireless technology your PC can use to project your screen to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players that also support Miracast. You can use this to share what you’re doing on your
PC, present a slide show, or even play your favorite game on a larger screen.

I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions from
