Windows 10: Reactivating laptop screen for casting - Windows 11

Sometime in the past I selected “second screen only” when I used the Windows 11 cast function to send my screen to Firestick TV. Now I want both screens to be active for casting but every time I try to cast using the “duplicate” setting it reverts to second screen only. How can I get the “duplicate” setting to stick?

Cast or Duplicate laptop screen on TV


Hello
I want to either duplicate or cast my laptop screen to my tv. I have acer spin 3 with windows 10 and Vizio smartTV.
I have cast on google Chrome, so from there I am able to cast to the TV. I have the cast button(link on right click), in Opera, but it does not work. Opera cannot find any Cast destinations.
On Windows side, if I search for wireless display from notifications/project area, it does not find my TV. If I click Connect in the notifications area, it does not find my TV.
The TV is listed under Other devices in my devices and printers settings, but is always disconnected.
I have attached images for this.
Please help,





Thanks
