Windows 10: Project screen to laptop not working.

I’m using an external laptop as a second monitor/screen for extra screen real estate. I can project to it from my desktop PC using the Windows OS built in projection settings over WiFi.It has been working fine until about two weeks ago when the image has been pixelated, colored and distorted like so pictured in the image. System updates and restarting both machines don’t appear to fix the issue.Is there a way to troubleshoot this? It’s unusable as is.

Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd

 

Windows 11 Projecting to TV Screen

I have downloaded windows 11 and having issues projecting my laptop to a Smart TV. I go through the steps to add the device and am able to project my laptop screen at that time. The issue begins when I want to do it the next time. The only way that I can get it to work, is to remove the device (TV) from my list of devices then re-add it every time I want to project to the TV. There has to be a better way to do this but it is all that has worked for me.
