Windows 10: Project to this PC problem

Hi, I have some difficulties to make the "Project to this PC" feature working on my 2 computers.

The feature is installed on my laptop and on my desktop computers. From laptop I can see the desktop and project onto it. Both computers are connected on same wifi network (actually the desktop is also connected via ethernet..).
I'm happy with that but what I want is the opposite (project from desktop to laptop).

So when I want to project from my desktop to my laptop, I just don't see the laptop in the device list. I tried to disable ethernet card, reinstalling the feature on both sides but nothing works. I also tried on other wifi (2.4GHz)...

One more information : on my laptop I have 2 graphics card (Intel and Nvidia) and it's in hybrid mode which means the Intel card is used because I'm not running a game.

Did you ever got this problem and manage to outpass it ?

Thank you for your help !
