casting to tv from computer

computer recognizes Chromecast on TV but will not cast to screen. device (TV) is listed in computer

 

Movies and TV app

My configuration:

a windows10 pc running movies and tv app

The app was able to cast to my smart TV up until today

Smart TV is a Sharp 55" with Roku

I start a movie

the movie starts in the Movies and TV app window on my PC

I select to cast the movie to my TV (above)

The app shows my TV and says it is trying to connect

The little blue dots start to move from left to right

(this does not stop and nothing appears on my TV)

alternately and formerly

(the window on my pc displays "unknown error occurred")

Previously when I tried to cast my TV would display a message saying it was being cast to and asked for permission to accept.

When I accepted I was able to watch the movie on my TV.

This is not happening now.

I've reset the application and run several of the troubleshooting suggestions on the web.

help?

 

cast movie maker windows 10 to tv ..2020

after seeing the issues people were having with cast to device windows 10 I found out that this option is no longer available. However in movie maker simply save the file using the save option in movie maker and save to computer. This will save the file
to your PC where once you go into the movie from the saved file screen it gives you the option to cast to your tv.

I was so disappointed when the cast option was removed by microsoft on a windows update but this simple remedy does work without downloading any add ons at all....hope somebody finds this helpful.
