Windows 10: Wireless Display/Connect app refusing to work despite all necessary requirements

Hello,So recently I've been wanting to set up my Desktop PC Running Windows 10 Pro to use my laptop Running Windows 11 Pro as a secondary monitor. My laptop is able to connect easily using the Kast feature to my Desktop PC so my Laptop can use my PC's monitor as a secondary monitor. However, it is unable to work both ways. On the Kast feature on my Desktop PC, it simply only lists a connection to my monitor which I'm already connected to via HDMI. I've looked at every other question remotely similar to this, and I've done everything to try and fix it.As a quick list; Both devices support M

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.

 

"Connect" to wireless displays not working

First you have to have a wireless display adapter and have it selected in connect.

Use the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter - Microsoft Support

Open 'connect' from the app list, not from the list of apps installed on the device in 'storage', not from notifications.
