Windows 10: Widescreen TV and Win 10 Imagery

I didn't want to get rid of my old 46" TV, but Presbyopia intervened.So it's a 55" screen now. The first problem encountered was that the pc insisted on using the HDMI ARC slot.

Anything up or down from that does not work. The Image files [e.g. .jpg] within a Folder are spread out in 2 columns when EXTRA LARGE ICONS is selected, but are anything but EXTRA LARGE, with the graphic title in full unde

Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

Thanks Bree.

The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

 

Win 10 project desktop screen to TV

I have enjoyed videos and movies from desktop to TV for ages.

I upgraded from 8.1 to win 10 and now all I get on the TV are the icons shown on the laptop home screen. None can be initialized on the tv. Even when the video is playing on the laptop, the tv just continues to show the icons only. My tv is not that old.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
