Windows 10: My device not appearing in miracast wireless display options

When I want to display my pc's screen on my TV Samsung Series 6, it doesn't appear in my options of wireless display. It has worked in the past with this tv and multiple others.

Wireless display options missing

Hi Ryan,

Both the device you have and the device you want to display to need to support Miracast.

Miracast is built atop the Wi-Fi Direct standard, which lets devices directly communicate with each other, no outside network necessary.

Some helpful links:

• Project to a Wireless Display with Miracast
• Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

"Connect to a wireless display" does not appear on the Project option

Those articles did not work. The Wireless Display Adapter is not a device that I am using. I have another laptop that does not use the Adapter, was just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10, and it uses the "Connect to wireless display" option with no additional
adapter or hardware needed.

The Miracast article did not apply either. I am not using Miracast on an android device, I am using a laptop.

I also removed the Samsung 55 device from my connected devices and readded it (although it is only listing as a Play device anyway so I do not see how this helps. It needs to be a Projected device, as seen on my other laptop that IS able to connect wirelessly
to a display).

Edit: I also have updated the latest software for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M display adapter. This is the only display adapter listed on my Device Manager (after selecting the show hidden devices option).

 

Wireless display without any device on smart tv

Hello Kishor,

To be able to mirror the screen on a third-party device, you need to make sure that the source as well as the receiver have Miracast support. If the manufacturer of the third-party device has mentioned that the device supports wireless display, then
you can be rest assured of the Miracast compatibility with the device.

To use miracasting on your computer, please follow the steps below and check if that helps.

• To access project option in Window 10, press the Window + P keys together.
• If your computer supports the Miracast display, then you will see an option as
  Add a wireless display.
• Click on Add a Wireless display. It will start searching for the new displays which are available in the range provided. Once you find the required device on the search results, click on the
  device name.
• Now Windows will install the required drivers on the device and shortly you will see the third part display displaying your device.
• Later if you want to disconnect the device, you can do the same from your computer by going to the project screen (Windows + P keys) and clicking on the
  disconnect option.
