  1. Why did windows 11 ask me to cast my screen?


    I just booted up my laptop and from out of nowhere some sort of notification popped up on top of the show hidden icons button on the taskbar asking me if I want to cast to another screen. I had two options, get started and maybe later. I clicked on get started and the taskbar just froze for about 20 seconds.I've had this pop up before but I just thought nothing about it and I clicked on maybe later or closed it.From what I've seen in other forums other people also had this notification, whether it was on top of the show hidden icons button or in the notification bar under ,,tips".I don't have

    Windows 11 casting

    Greetings,

    I am seeking assistance with the casting function on Windows 11. I have attempted to cast my laptop screen to three different TVs, which are compatible with the casting feature and work well with other two laptops that also have Windows 11 installed. Thus, the issue seems to be related to one specific installation of Windows. My laptop meets the requirements for casting, such as Miracast and HDCP support.

    I have taken several troubleshooting steps, such as disabling the firewall and antivirus, ensuring that the TV and the laptop are on the same Wi-Fi network, not using VPN, and updating the network and video drivers. My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 3060. Windows can detect the TVs as available devices for casting, but the connection fails.

    I am at a loss of what else to do to resolve this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
