    Unable to project PC screen to TV

    Hi Saidy,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are not able to project the PC screen to TV. It would be great if you can answer these questions to assist you in a better way.

    1. What is the make and model of the PC and TV?
    2. What happens when you try to project to TV?
    3. Were you able to project the laptop screen to TV earlier?

    Miracast is a wireless technology your PC can use to project your screen to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players that also support Miracast. You can use this to share what you’re doing on your
    PC, present a slide show, or even play your favorite game on a larger screen.

    I suggest you refer and follow the suggestions from
    Fix connections to wireless displays or docks


    Additional Information:

    Project to a wireless display with Miracast.

    Hope it helps.

    Mobile screen projection to Desktop PC

    Hello Shubham Dhar,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    As you are already on the PC Settings page, the options chosen are absolutely right. Once after making the changes on PC, you’ll have to change few settings on your mobile device. To do that,

    • Open Settings on your mobile device and narrow down to
      Cast/Cast Screen/Screen Cast option.
    • As you have turned on projection settings on PC, your PC will be showing up under
      Cast option on mobile device, click on it.
    • Once connected, you should be able to see your Android screen on your Windows 10 PC

    Note: Make sure Wireless display is
    enabled on your Android phone by clicking on Ellipsis from the top menu.

    > You may also use Connect app on your PC to project your mobile device. To do the same,

    • Type Connect (Windows app) in the
      Search
      menu on your PC.
    • It will start projecting its network, you can open
      Cast
      settings on your phone and project your phone on PC.

    Additional Information: You can project your PC to TVs, projectors, and streaming media players. Here’s an article for your reference:
    Project to a wireless display with Miracast
    (applicable for Windows 10).

    Regards,
