Windows 10: My laptop contents cannot be projected to another screen

Hi,It is very strange that all files contents cannot be projected to another screen using a connecting projector. I can see my laptop's blank screen, its task bar, but not any other contents in the screen. when I open the Powerpoint file, It cannot be projected to the screen too. however, when I change to the slide-show model, I can see the PPT contents. Very strange.I have uninstall and re-install the display driver. I guess it is the problem of microsoft 365 issue, I use window 11. It was OK before. is It because the update of window 11?Thank you!Robert

I can't Project my Screen on pc

Hello Obaro Nduka,

Thank youn for posting Microsoft Community.

We're here to help. Regarding your concern you may follow the steps provided below:

• Use a USB cable to connect to your Windows device.
• Start the Project My Screen app on your Windows device.
• On your phone, tap Yes when prompted to allow screen projection.

Note: You can't use a USB connection to project content that's protected by Digital Right Management (DRM) -- for example Xbox Video. Projecting your screen with a USB connection is video only. You can still manage audio through your phone.

Hope this helps.
