Laptop Miracast on Windows 10: Troubleshooting and Setup

As a tech enthusiast, I was excited to finally try out Miracast with my new laptop running Windows 10. After some initial issues, I was able to get it working and wanted to share my experience and troubleshooting steps with others who may be facing similar problems.

I had been wanting to test Miracast for a while, but it took me a couple of weeks to receive the Anycast M2 Plus device that I ordered. Once I got it, I tested it with Miracast, but unfortunately, it didn't work. This prompted me to try out some troubleshooting steps, including checking my laptop's settings and network configuration.

Despite trying out different solutions, I was still unable to get Miracast working on my laptop. It wasn't until I attached a Google ChromeCast device to my LG 4K TV that I realized it could be used as a wireless Miracast adapter. This device allowed me to connect my laptop wirelessly to the TV or monitor and stream video and audio signals.

Before getting my new laptop, I had assumed that my old one didn't support Miracast. However, with my new Lenovo P51 running Windows 10, I was eager to try it out. It came highly recommended by fellow MVP Steven Hosking, who uses it for work presentations.

In this post, I'll walk you through the steps I took to troubleshoot and set up Miracast on my Windows 10 laptop. If you're reading this, chances are you're also interested in using Miracast to wirelessly project your laptop screen onto a TV or monitor. Let's get started!
