Windows 10: Using laptop as second screen for pc. Projection is not supported

Hello,

I'm trying to use my laptop as a second screen for my desktop. However, there's a message in the settings for projection: "This device does not support wireless projection.... "
There's no wireless adapter in my pc so I think that might be the issue here?

I was wondering if a wireless adapter enables projecting.Something like this: Asus USB-AC53 Nano AC1200 Dual-band USB Wi-Fi Adapter - Newegg.com

Also, dxdiag says: Miracast: Available, no HDCP

GPU of the pc: GTX 560 SE

Thank you

:)

 

Project Second screen constantly appearing.

Hi Norga,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

Let us know some more information so that we can diagnose and troubleshoot the issue in a better way:

• what is the exact issue that you want us to help with? Do you want to get help in projecting a second screen or to remove the popup?
• As you've said " I tried unsuccessfully to project a screen", do you wish to project a second screen currently?
• What happened exactly when you tried to project a second screen? Did you receive any error message or any error code?

The popup comes as the system might not be able to detect the monitors. I suggest you to update the Display drivers, it may force the system to detect the available monitors. Here is the steps:

• Press “Windows + X” and select Device manger.
• Locate the driver and expand the driver icon.
• Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

Reply with the information and we'll be happy to assist you.

Miracast is a wireless technology your PC can use to project your screen to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players that also support Miracast. You can use this to share what you’re doing on your
PC, present a slide show, or even play your favorite game on a larger screen.

I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions from
