Windows 10: When I connect my windows 10 laptop wirelessly to my Smart TV " >project >pc screen...

I cannot even press "esc" to get back the use of my laptop screen, but I do see the mouse moving on my TV. I've successfully been able to project before and it worked fine, but suddenly it stopped working so that I cannot have control of my laptop screen. Is there a feature I inadvertently switched on/off, and can I un-do that before I try to project again. Any ideas?

Connecting wirelessly from laptop to smart tv

I am trying to wirelessly connect my laptop to a smart tv to display some photos that I have. The laptop recognises the TV and when I ask it to connect to the TV the TV also appears to recognise that there is a device there but it will not connect

 

Can not project laptop screen to smart TV

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

What is the model number of your Samsung Smart TV?

In order for you to project your laptop's screen to your TV, your laptop and Smart TV must be connected to each other on the same network.

Set your PC's output resolution so it matches a resolution supported by the TV and when you connect your TV to the laptop, set the laptop's video card to one of the standard resolutions. The TV will automatically adjust to the resolution you choose. Note
that the optimal and recommended resolution is 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Refer to the user manual of your graphics card for compatible resolutions.

Follow the below methods and check if this helps.

Method 1: Fix connections to wireless displays or docks.

Try the troubleshooting steps mentioned in Fix connections to wireless displays or
docks and check if this helps.

Method 2: Remove and Re-Add The TV.

Completely remove the Smart TV from your laptop by choosing the Remove Device from Settings, so that you don't see your Samsung Smart TV name on your laptop, restart the computer once, and then follow the steps mentioned in
How to connect a TV to a Desktop computer? to connect your TV to your laptop.

Hope it helps.

Projecting my displat to my smart TV.

I have a laptop with window 10 Home. I'd like to project my screen to my Samsung Smart TV. I'd like to do it wirelessly. I can do it from my phone to TV. I can share pics, videos and music from the laptop to the TV, but can't get the live screen to the
TV. Hitting Win-Key/P I can select a preferred choice, but when I hit to connect to the TV all it does is blanks the screen and fail to complete the connection. Am I missing something? Is Home not capable?
