Mobile screen projection to Desktop PC

Hello Shubham Dhar,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

As you are already on the PC Settings page, the options chosen are absolutely right. Once after making the changes on PC, you’ll have to change few settings on your mobile device. To do that,

• Open Settings on your mobile device and narrow down to
  Cast/Cast Screen/Screen Cast option.
  
• As you have turned on projection settings on PC, your PC will be showing up under
  Cast option on mobile device, click on it.
  
• Once connected, you should be able to see your Android screen on your Windows 10 PC
  

Note: Make sure Wireless display is
enabled on your Android phone by clicking on Ellipsis from the top menu.

> You may also use Connect app on your PC to project your mobile device. To do the same,

• Type Connect (Windows app) in the
  Search menu on your PC.
  
• It will start projecting its network, you can open
  Cast settings on your phone and project your phone on PC.
  

Additional Information: You can project your PC to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players. Here’s an article for your reference:
Project to a wireless display with Miracast
(applicable for Windows 10).
