    Microsoft Wireless Display adaptor - Not detected in MSWDP App


    Hi,I found my old MSWDA and tried to connect it to see if it still was worth using.Connected to secondary Monitor, starts fine, and makes it to the Ready to connect screen.Win + K on my Win 11 PC, and it finds and connects to the 2nd monitor without issue.I then installed the Microsoft Wireless Display APP from the MS Store, then I opened the app, but it doesn't find the adaptor that I've clearly installed as the display is duplicated to my 2nd monitor, and no matter how manner times I hit refresh, the APP never finds my adaptor?Steps I've taken to try and fix so far include...Reset the Adapt

    Hi Jake,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

    For the issue with Sound try the below steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue.

    Let’s try simple methods and check if this helps in resolving the issue. Follow the below steps.

    Method 1.

    I would suggest you to run sound audio troubleshooter, it will automatically detect the problem and fix it. Follow the below method.


    • Press Windows key + R and click on
      Control Panel
      .

    • Click on View by: category and click on
      Small icon.

    • Now click on troubleshooting and click on
      Hardware and Sound.

    • Click on Playing Audio and Click on
      Next
      button.
    If the issue still persist, try the below method:

    Method 2.

    Step 1.

    I suggest you to uninstall the sound driver and check.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device manager
      .

    • Now click on Audio input and outputs to expand, right click on the device and click on
      uninstall.

    • Once you are done uninstalling the restart the computer. If should automatically installed the driver.

      If the still persist, try the below steps.
    Step 2.

    If the above methods did not help to fix the issue, try the below method.

    Method 3.

    I recommend you to go to the computer manufacturer website and download the latest updated sound adapter for Windows 10 and install the same. If the available driver is not for Windows 10 try installing the driver in compatibility mode.


    • Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.

    • Select Compatibility tab.

    • Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.

    • Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
    For the issue with Netflix, I recommend you to uninstall and re/install the Netflix and check.


    • Go to settings and click on system.

    • Click on App & features and click on the Netflix and
      uninstall it.
    Also, I suggest you to go to the below link and try updating the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
