Windows 10: Why does my projection settings keep reverting to pc screen only.

Every time when I press Windows + P and choose the "extend" option and close it, it always reverts back to "PC screen only". I am trying to set up two monitors but I have been having issues. I have already checked out other posts to this issue but none of the solutions seem to work, I am just wondering if there is another solution I am missing or a new solution to this issue.

Hi Saidy,

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
