Windows 10: Projecting to PC not working

When trying to project my Windows 10 PC screen to a Windows 11 PC everything works fine until the Windows 10 PC tries to connect to the Windows 11 PC. It times out after not connecting. On the Windows 11 PC a screen lists the devices that may or may not connect to it. The lists are blank. How do I get the name of my Windows 10 PC on that list?My Windows 10 PC is a Microsoft Surface laptopDxDiag shows Miracast HDPCDevice name LAPTOP-0L1A3RFF Processor IntelR CoreTM i5-1035G1 CPU @ 1.00GHz 1.19 GHz Installed RAM 4.00 GB 3.60 GB usable Device ID 88C8CD6C-44C3-4579-B54D-0E71138C0940 Produc
