If you’re having trouble connecting to your wireless display, try the following to fix things:

  • Make sure your Windows 11 device supports Miracast. To check on your PC, press the Windows logo key  + K. If your device doesn't support Miracast, you might see a message saying you need to connect a cable to cast to an external display. 

  • Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. To do this on your PC, select the Network icon at the far right of the taskbar, and then check the Wi-Fi quick setting.

  • Make sure the display supports Miracast and verify it's turned on. If your wireless display doesn't support Miracast, you’ll need a Miracast adapter (sometimes called a dongle) that plugs into an HDMI port.

  • Make sure the Wireless display app is installed on the target PC. The Wireless display app (currently an optional feature in Windows 11) needs to be installed. If this device is not discoverable, try entering wireless display in the search box on the taskbar, and selecting it in the list of results. Now check for this device on the device you want to project from.
