  1. Wireless Display Adapter - Couldn't connect / wait a moment


    HiI have a problem reconnecting to a Monitor with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.The first connection to this Wireless Adapter is quick and without any issues.After a disconnect and reconnect, the Monitor shows the Message "Couldn't connect. Wait a moment". After a moment, the connection will be established and works.The Problem is the connection resist in settings -> devices. When I reconnect, my client tries connecting to this existing connection, deleting this connection first and building a new entry connection.I could see this also in the registry under "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MAC

    :)

    Windows Wireless Display Adapter-not connecting anymore

    Hello Phillip,

    Did you notice any changes on your PC prior to the issue? I suggest that you follow the steps outlined in this support article:
    Troubleshooting Wireless Display Adapters.

    Since updating drivers did not work, in addition, you can try to reset the Wireless Adapter.

    1. On the adapter, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds.
    2. When the message " Ready to connect "shows, open the
      Action Center.
    3. Select Connect, and in the list of displays, select
      Microsoft
      Wireless Display Adapter.

    Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

    Issue with connecting Dual monitor with Wireless Display Adapter

    Hi Penny Wells,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when things do not work as they should. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

    1. What is the make and model of the computer?
    2. What is the model of the TV?

    This issue can occur if there is pending firmware update or the issue with the drivers. I would suggest you to follow the below steps and let us know about the results:

    Method 1: Fix connections to wireless displays or docks.


    I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the Microsoft article on
    Fix connections to wireless displays or docks.


    Method 2: Troubleshooting Wireless Display Adapters.

    If method 1 doesn’t fix the issue, I would suggest you to follow all the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the Microsoft article on
    Troubleshooting Wireless
    Display Adapters
    refer the steps ‘Having trouble connecting your device to the adapter?’

    Note: The above article contains steps regarding Firmware update.
    Modifying BIOS settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS
    settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

    Hope it helps.
