Hi guys! I'm trying to get my Surface Pro 7 to miracast to my gaming rig that way I can use the surface as a second monitor. Miracast seems to work perfectly fine on the surface (go figure) but my desktop says what the title says. I've looked at numerous troubleshooting forums and didn't get any truly helpful information so hopefully I can get some real help. As far as the steps I've taken, I've done all the steps on this forum: https://www.minitool.com/news/your-pc-doesnt-support-miracast.html This includes: reinstalling my network adapter driver making sure my ndis version is sufficient making sure my display driver model is sufficient making sure I'm connected to the network (of course) The two problems I'm having with the article is 1: I can't set my Wireless Mode Selection to auto, as it doesn't appear in the advanced tab for my wireless adapter. 2: is, again, the title. Where it says miracast is available but with no HDCP. I've read in other places that HDCP may not be compatible with older hardware, but this desktop is from 2018. It started with Windows 10, hasn't had any other version or OS before. I'm also running an MSI Aero GTX 1080 and an i7 8700k, so I know this computer hardware is equipped to run miracast. I'm not sure if it may be BIOS setting that got fudged in the setup process, or if there's something else I'm missing. All of the search results I've found barely give any information on troubleshooting the problem, and most of the time it seems to be other 3rd party devices that have these problems. However, these are both newer, strictly Windows 10 devices, so I don't know what I'm missing exactly. Thank you for reading! I hope someone can help, I've been working on this for two hours now to no avail! Ya'll are my final lifeline

So title, basically. My laptop is unable to connect to the FireTV for screen mirroring, I've been able to before but it doesn't want to connect anymore. It gives me the message "try to connect through action center", windows and FireTV are both up to date. I've searched through the interwebs far and wide for answers but found nothing useful.

Hi, guys I need your help: I need to connect LG UH610V Smart Tv and Desktop PC (No integrated WIFI) to share screen. Tv supports MiraCast and Intel Widi. Desktop supports MiraCast. I have used few wifi adapters (none supports wifi direct and miracast), somehow one of them works, it is glichy, and not usable. TV and Desktop, are on same network. How to connect them, are adapters only solution, to buy Chromecast?, what to do?, i am lost in these technologies. What is worse, it is for work, my first work. They need them connected wirelessly .

Why did Nvidia drop support for miracast on 9xx series cards? When I first upgraded to Win10 last summer, it worked rather well. Now that the driver has been updated a few times, I cant seem to get it going anymore? Any words as to why it was dropped?

Hey, I have a MiraVision compatible phone and a Sony Bravia, the problem is that when I cast using my phone's 'Wireless Display' option, but the stream is way too choppy, it completely destroys the experience, this problem started today, in the past months it worked completely fine without any noticeable lag, I think it might be related to some wifi stuff. I would really like get it back to working properly. Thanks for Ur time

I want to use my old laptop as second monitor for my PC. Yes, the PC does have a wi-fi+bluetooth card (intel 9260), which supports miracast. I'm not sure for the laptop adapter number, its a broadcom one, but it also supports miracast. I've tried both "netsh wlan show drivers" and dxdiag to make sure. But for some reason I don't get the "Project to this PC" option on either one. The PC is on LTSC 1809 and the laptop is on LTSB 1607 if that matters, also drivers are up-to-date.

So ive tried for about 3 hours now to get miracast to work on my custom PC with no luck talking to both Microsoft and NVIDA. My Dxdaig says YES with my CPU, but NO with my GPU (GTX 1050ti). There's got to be a work around other then using an actual 50 foot cable. (Yes this was both of the solutions i was given) It made me think of how LTT used an AMD card and a GTX card to get Freesync while using the GTX for rendering. Could i, with the same idea, use my on-board graphics with my CPU to run miracast, while using my 1050ti to render and run my games? Story: Im wanting to play RE 2 remastered and have my GF watch me on the TV without streaming to twitch with the stream lag, both the delay and performance hit to my "not so powerful" PC . Or having her sit uncomfortably at my shoulder.

Hi! I'm new here so I hope this is in the right place. At anyrate. I have a small project on my hand. I'm currently testing Microsoft's Wireless Display Adapter, their own Miracast device. It works perfectly fine part from one problem. The situation which we have intended to use these in require that the computer do not remember the PIN/configuration. Here is a better explanation. We have a number of conference rooms, we want users to be able to stream their screen to a TV/Projector in the room. We want one solution that fits all, so instead of using certain TVs internal miracast or such we want to use an external device like the WDA from Microsoft. To avoid people outside the room to connect to the WDA we want it to force using PIN everytime a user connect. The problem is that WDA only forces a user to type a PIN-code once, after that the connection is saved in their computer. And then we fall on the problem of being able to connect from outside the room. If the we on the computer chose to forget the connection the user will then be prompted to type the PIN-code again. So the problem is that computer saves the device. So we would like to find a way to either have the computer only forget wireless displays using for example group policies, we do not find any policy that control this alone. Removing all saved wireless devices is possible but will be a hassle for users using say Logitech Unifying or a bluetooth headset because that GP will remove these too. So its not an option. A way to do it via powershell could be an option. But it doesn't allow us to control guest computers. So I wonder if there are more settings in the WDA that I can't see. Because right now all I can see is the settings found through the Wireless Display Adapter app that Microsoft recommends using themselves. If you dont have a solution then your ideas and speculation is more than welcome. Thanks -Arazand

I know, it seems complicated to undertand but I'll try to make it as clear and short as I can, so in first place, i wanna use my laptop as my secondary screen , but "surprisingly" when I managed to get all the screen sharing thing done with a synergy alternative called "Barrier" I realised that I couldn't share the any windows that I want to share to the other screen, this may sound logical to you, but if I say to you that windows screen share lets you do that, then things get worse, because you'll think, ok if that's the problem why you don't use windows screenshare?, I dont have wifi and bluetooth in my motherboard, so windows don't let my use this feature even if the two PC's are connected to the same wifi network, so I'm posting this hoping that anyone can reply with an alternative, I've done windows app sharing over wifi with different PC's before but was so long ago that I can't remember what program I used :( ,Thanks for reading to this part of the post and sorry for the extension I want to explain my problem as clear and detailled as possible, if you don't understand something feel free to ask me, also you can add me on discord for contact gamesmusic454#0676

Hi, Okay, so I've been trying to wirelessly connect my Laptop to My Sony Bravia TV using miracast, however in my "Devices" section it does not have the option to add any devices (Only has the usual options of Duplicate, Extend, Second Screen only). My TV is compatible with Miracast as I have the Screen Mirroring option to connect to my phone. I checked to see if my Laptop was compatible with Miracast using the DxDiag and it said "Miracast: Not Supported by Graphics driver". I then tried to update my Graphics Driver (I have an AMD 8970M) from Software Version 17.4.1 to Software Version 17.7.1 but no effect as the DxDiag still showed "Miracast: Not Supported by Graphics driver". Not sure what to do now. If anyone has any ideas, it'd really be appreciated. Thanks

I think this is the right place to ask. I'm kind of stuck on this problem so I would like to crowd source the knowledge here to see if someone can give me some suggestions. For my job I have a domain joined managed laptop which want to cast it's image to a Microsoft Surface Hub. This doesn't work because it can't connect to the wireless display. So for now I have a test setup where I have a windows 10 laptop (going to call this "my laptop" now) as a receiver (using the connect app) and this other laptop (I'm going to call this "work laptop" now) which tries to connect to it, and it gives me the same error. When trying to connect to my laptop with another laptop I get the screen mirroring to work. Also when connecting with my laptop to the surface hub it works. I installed a fresh windows 10 image on the work laptop (dual boot) and this is also able to connect to my laptop then so the problem is not hardware related. I've checked the firewall setting and they seem to be okay (the wireless display settings are all enabled to go trough). I've updated the wifi adapter drivers but this didn't make a difference. I've check that both laptops are on the same frequency with wifi (2.4 GHz) and this didn't make a difference. The work laptop uses Direct Access so I disabled this tunnel (and later tried it in the corporate network too) and this didn't make a difference. I've tried to run it when both laptop didn't have any other wifi connection, this didn't make a difference. I've tried adjusting the refresh rate on the work laptop but this didn't make a difference too. I've installed the wireless display adapter app from the app store. I tried updating the video drivers for the work laptop but this I can't do because it's managed to tightly. I want to see if I can find the specific drivers used and install these on the clean windows 10 image to rule this problem out, but I don't expect this to be the issue. When I have the task manager wifi monitoring enabled on both my laptop and the worklaptop when they try to connect it send 2 spikes of data to the worklaptop, but this one only seems to receive one. I don't know if this is relevant. The issue isn't in the network itself because miracast sets up a seperate network for itself. Any suggestion on where the issue might be are welcome. I will be trying to fix this issue the whole day so some help would be nice :).

So I read about Miracast over infrastructure and it says that if you have windows 1703 that the feature is included but for some reason my pc tells me my system doesnt support Miracast when I go to my "projecting to this pc" settings. I just wanna use my tv with my pc

Problem is simple but i can't solve it on myown.I have LG SmartTV with Miracast/WiDi receiver and PC with Windows 10.DLNA server is working fine but PC see TV as media device not as screen so i can't use Miracast.How could it be fixed?

Intro: I'm celebrating me moving to a new place by buying a 4K 'HDR' -don't get me started on how bad that term is- tv and I want to use the vastly superior display for both occasional gaming (which is easy thanks to Steam in home streaming) and applications like Lightroom and Photoshop run from my PC across the living room. I'm fine with any wireless or network solution that doesn't compress the stream to the point where the 10bit panel is worthless, preferably at 60Hz. If such a thing exists on the consumer market. Questions: Can in home 4k streaming without heavy compression be done? What would I need? Specs in case it matters: PC: Mobo: Gigabyte Z77X-D3H CPU: i7-4770k GPU: by then either a GTX 1070 or 1080 Television: Samsung UE55KS7000 Thank you in advance

I'm looking to cast my Android tablet onto my TV. I see there are dedicated Miracast to HDMI dongles, but also Chromecast does that. Is there a difference in the dedicated miracast dongles vs using Chromecast cast? Any improvement in input lag maybe? Ultimately my goal is to play 1080p videos of various formats(mkv,mp4,mov,mpg) via VLC or MX Player and I would like the video/audio sent to the TV's HDMI, so if there is another solution let me know.

Hi All, I have a Hp Pavilion Dv7 which originally came with Windows 7. It has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 About a year ago. I would like some 'device' using Miracast / Intel Widi to mirror my screen onto the TV. My TV has a miracast receiver built in. However my laptop doesn't have intel widi / miracast technology built in. Is there a transmitter that I could plug in to my laptop to make it compatible. I was recently looking at Airtame as it uses wifi direct, however it can't be shipped to Australia. 1HyperCube1

Okay, so the server doesn't have the best hardware, but the idea is that it won't need to. I've had this idea for a while, actually a year, and I've recently rehashed it to take advantage of modern technology. My idea started out as just a new way to make an oil cooled PC. rather than using power hungry hardware and radiators to pump oil through, I'd use a tall fish tank, low power low heat hardware, and only fill the tank up half way with the hardware in the lower half. I would then pump the oil up to the top of the fish tank and let a smooth and thin stream of the stuff flow down the glass (effectively cooling it by using the glass as a heat conductor) and back into the oil in the bottom half of the fish tank. The idea was that this would use less oil and be rather pleasing to look at. My next big endeavor with the system was to split the fish tank, which was also quite long, in half and actually have fish on the other side of the separator. After thinking it through, I decided that I would need to use a two pane barrier to stop heat from conducting to the fish side of the tank from the server part of the tank. The server was originally going to be extremely basic, only taking orders through microsoft's remote control UI and automatically backing up computers as well as streaming content to users when requested. I've since had a change of heart. After sitting on the idea and most of the hardware for a year now, I've re-evaluated my plan. instead of being so limited, I now want the server to be able to stream directly to the TV in the living room without requiring someone to connect a laptop, mess with resolutions and sound, and then stream from the server. Now I want the server to stream my family's backed up content to the TV using a miracast device and stream games from my own computer using steam in home streaming. I believe my hardware choices will complete the task, but I'm also lost in another respect now. Before I was determined to use Microsoft's home server 2011, but it would be quite hard to open up the server operating system enough to allow for the versatility that I want. I've been considering instead to use a normal operating system, either windows or linux based, and configure it to work as a backup and remote control server. XBMbuntu looks like a good option, and so does windows 8.1 (if i can configure it properly). I was hoping someone in the community could tell me what you thing of the idea and give me a hand with what operating system to use. The operating system would need to be able to support a RAID 5 array, but I can install the operating system on an SSD. I've installed linux before, and briefly used it, but I always seem to screw it up. I'd rather not have to reinstall a server and risk losing data. Does anyone out here have a recommendation? Here are the server specs. If they aren't powerful enough to meet certain OS or hardware requirements, just let me know and leave a recommendation. processor: intel pentium D 945 @ 3.4 Ghz dual core (tray, so awesome price for the power!) motherboard: MSI G-41M P34 LGA 775 (it supported DDR3 memory and pci express X1 and X16) Memory: 2X 4Gb crucial DDR3 CL 9 1333mhz memory GPU: EVGA gtx 520 (single slot and extremely low power requirement and heat output) RAID card: vantec IGT-ST310R (it was cheap and I don't need anything faster than sata 2 speeds) storage: 3X western digital red 1 TB HDD in RAID 5 possibly a 180 Gb corsair force GS SSD PSU: Corsair CX 430W non modular PSU (I don't need much power) CPU heatsink: Thermaltake CL-P0466 SpinQ Quiet (it's going to look and work awesome in oil) miracast: Belkin Miracast HDMI 2.0 adapter networking: asus PCE-AC68 wireless AC 1900 adapter (I need a lot of signal strength)
