I am not sure if everyone is checking at the right place if they are connected to domain network and they have 8.1 because only 8.1 has this option. Windows 8 has a different way to share devices and content.

Where to find the option to share:

I have been using Windows since forever and have used Apple too, so switching to Mac / Apple is not going to help. Its just another OS with the same fundamentals. Go figure it out in a Apple store if you want a demo.

Removing the virtual networks (via hyperv manger->view->hyperv virtual manager) did the trick for me (the method is mentioned above in the thread). Chromecast is working for me now.

Thanks, but no luck for me. The troubleshooter didn't detect any problems.
