Windows 10: Project to this computer - Is my laptop capable?

How do i know whether my laptop (running Windows 10 64 bit with may 2020 feature update)
is capable of being projected to? That is whether i can use the function of project to this computer.
Is there a test i can run or look for a driver or hardware to be present which will allow me to run this feature.

It seems rather easy from what i see on the internet but i am unable to get this feature going...so perhaps there is a deficiency in my laptop configuration or hardware.

But yes, I can project the contents of my laptop to a smart Tv wirelessly

Thanks

:)

Hi Stephen,

Pressing the project shortcut key accidentally is one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. To help isolate the issue, we'd like to ask the following questions below:

• Have you made any changes to your computer before the issue started?
  
• Is the issue only occur whenever you're typing on the keyboard of the laptop?

To help further isolate the issue, we suggest observing the laptop screen and do not type anything on the keyboard for about 15-30 minutes to check if the Project option will show up.

Update us on the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
