Windows 10: I can't connect to my projector

Ever since I updated to windows 11, I haven't been able to use my projector with my computer. I used to be able to connect to it with just the wireless display option, and the device is still listed now, but it always says that it fails to connect. There is nothing different about the projector, it worked fine a week ago, so I was wondering how to fix the connection issue. The projector is connected through mirroring screen.
