So we need to check the 'Inbound' and 'Outbound' permission rules in the Advanced settings section. Simple really.Īre you running Windows Defender Firewall? It would seem that it's your TV that is not responding correctly. On the receiving machine I could see Connect responding to the incoming connection (so that bit works, the connection was successfully initiated) but the circling dots in Connect just continued forever.īased on those tests, I would suggest that there is nothing on the sending PC that's preventing you connecting. but when I run the Connect app on an older machine not designed for Miracast and try to cast to it I get the 'cannot connect' message on the sending PC. I can cast to one of my other PCs that's running Connect. I can however run the Connect app on another PC to make it available for casting to with Miracast. Screen mirroring or casting from Edge is unavailable as they require the receiving device to have Miracast. That means I can cast media files such as an mp4 to it from File Explorer but nothing else. It searches and, …, informs me that it cannot connect.I don't have a TV that supports Miracast, only DLNA. The new dialog has the name of the TV there so click it. System DPI Setting: 120 DPI (125 percent) Page File: 4154MB used, 14548MB available System Model: HP Pavilion Laptop 15-cc6xx Language: English (Regional Setting: English) I don't see any tools to edit my post but since this a thread advised to run dxdiag to determine if my laptop has Miracast. In the Devices display, noted above, it does show a field with this text: The TV currently displaying the Miracast setup. I found some things on this site about Mira Cast. There is nothing with the characters “connected” in that display.

Then maybe I can ask specific questions.Įxample: Multiple sites instruct me to select: Start -> Settings -> Devices -> Connected Devices If you have a favorite site and instructions please post a link. Problem: I have visited multiple site with a search that includes “windows 10” and keep getting instructions to click things that do not exist or that just do not work.

Goal: Connect my laptop to the TV so I can display stuff on the TV. Windows 10, just updated, HP Pavilion Laptop, Intel I5 CPU.
