Windows 10: Windows 11. Trying to screen cast to TV. TV asks for a PIN . Where do I enter the PIN?

I have been successfully casting from my Windows 11 laptop Lenovo to smart TV for months. Suddenly the TV is giving a PIN and requiring me to enter the PIN on my laptop. Where? I have searched all over, minimized apps, tried windows logo+K and can't find it. Where is it?

Cast or Duplicate laptop screen on TV


Hello
I want to either duplicate or cast my laptop screen to my tv. I have acer spin 3 with windows 10 and Vizio smartTV.
I have cast on google Chrome, so from there I am able to cast to the TV. I have the cast button(link on right click), in Opera, but it does not work. Opera cannot find any Cast destinations.
On Windows side, if I search for wireless display from notifications/project area, it does not find my TV. If I click Connect in the notifications area, it does not find my TV.
The TV is listed under Other devices in my devices and printers settings, but is always disconnected.
I have attached images for this.
Please help,





Thanks
