  1. PC cannot discover Projector through miracast


    My PC cannot discover my projector through miracast anymore. It was working a few days ago and now I cannot discover my projector at all. I have googled for a solution for 2 days now and updated all drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled many things. I messed with firewall settings and turned it off completely to see if that would allow a connection but unfortunately nothing changed. I want to know if there is anything else I can try to get this fixed. Plugging in directly is not an option as I dont have a cable long enough to reach from my PC to my projector. I can connect to my projector through screen mirroring from my phone just fine so I know that it works still. any suggestions much appreciated.

    :)

    Hi Mat,

    Since you were able to project through Miracast before, then there's a possibility that current changes and updates performed on your computer may have triggered the problem. Below are the factors we need to check in order to properly connect to your wireless
    display.

    • Make sure the Wi-Fi is turned on.
    • Make sure the wireless display supports Miracast and make sure it's turned on.
    • The device drivers should be up-to-date and that your wireless display, adapter, or dock has the latest firmware installed.

    If the above factors are met and still having the same issue, then please restart your PC and the projector. If it's still not working after the restart, then remove the wireless display or the projector, and then reconnect it. Just navigate to
    Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices. Select your projector or wireless display, then hit
    Remove device.

    Please let me know how it goes so I'll be able to further assist you.

    Regards.
