Why won't MS Wireless Display Adapter Connect?

[Dbregger]

I installed onto my TV. The TV shows it, and says its "Ready to connect".....My Windows 10 laptop sees it and when I click "connect" in the Action Center, it sees it.....When trying to connect, my TV screen says "Connecting to ..." then it says after about 5 seconds.... "connection failed"

Is it connected using bluetooth? or Wifi?

I tried to turn off my windows firewall. That didn't work. If WIFI, could it be my router is blocking?

The MS wireless display adapter uses Miracast, a kind of localized WiFi. But technically you don't have to be connected to the Internet.

Have you downloaded the wireless display app from the MS Store? It provides firmware and system updates. https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...display-adapter%2F9wzdncrfjbb1&token=6fXOboUn
