    Not sure what the issue is. Have multiple Windows 11 laptops and desktops which are unable to connect to, or cast to, any wireless display Roku, Firestick, LG Smart TV, and Samsung Smart TV. Issue has been ongoing since the update from Windows 10. Casting to each device with my iPhone has no issue. Although, when trying with my laptops Surface Pro 7, Acer Nitro 5 and desktop custom built gaming rig, they fail to connect. Each computer and endpoint Roku, Firestick, Smart TVs displays an "attempting to connect" message, but ultimately fails. Have restarted devices, uninstalled and reinst

  2. Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Unable to Connect

    We have just purchase a Framework laptop with a 12th Generation Core i5 processor and we are unable to connect to any of our several Microsoft Wireless Display V2 adapters. We have connected with several other laptops with different processors and hardware perfectly happily but with this laptop I press Ctrl + K and the display adapter shows up in the list, I click connect and the display in question shows connecting, it then just spins and fails to actually show anything and eventually times out.

    I can see that the adapter appears as a Miracast device in device manager and I have tried the following and rebooted several times:

    • Changing the Wireless Band
    • Resetting the Adapter
    • Tried with a different adapter
    • Updating the Adapter Firmware (now on the latest)
    • Updating the drivers from Intel's site for:
      • The Bluetooth Controller (Intel Wireless Bluetooth) (Version: 22.160.0.4)
      • The WiFi Adapter (Intel WiFi 6E AX210) (Version: 22.160.0.4)
      • The Intel Iris Xe Graphics (Version: 31.0.101.3413)
    • Removing and adding the device again
    • Adding Exceptions to the firewall for Wireless Displays
    • Turning off the Firewall altogether (We have no additional antivirus running)
    All of this exhibits the same behaviour it seems to do everything except actually display on the screen and I can see no strange exceptions in the event logs that would suggest something is going wrong.

    Is there something I am missing?

  3. Microsoft Wireless Display connection fails

    Hi,

    I have purchased 3 Microsoft Wireless Display adapters for use with our projectors and large screen TV's at work. Originally, everything just worked. Then my laptop lost the ability to connect to any of the wireless display devices. It sees them all and
    attempts to connect.

    During the attempt to connect, the device that has the wireless adapter on it lists the name of my computer...the wireless screen reads:

    Connecting to Bills Laptop...

    Then it just fails and goes back to the ready to connect screen.

    From what I can tell, it is not connecting because Windows will not let me set the projection mode to be Duplicate or Extend. It stays locked in PC Screen only.

    I can successfully connect to any of the wireless displays from any other computer...just not my laptop. And it did work for about a week before it didn't...

    I have tried uninstalling graphics card drivers. Both the Intel HD and the Nvidia Quadro drivers.

    I have tried uninstalling the Mirracast device as well and reinstalling that driver too...

    Any ideas as to how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated...
