Cannot cast from Windows 10 to Anyview cast Smart TV

Anonymous

I'm attempting to project to a second display onto a Smart TV supporting Anyview Cast (Hisense Smart TV). I've attempted this with two different Windows 10 laptops, both using the Project to second screen > Connect to a wireless display options.

In both cases, it attempts to connect for a while, and then nothing happens. One laptop also states "Couldn't connect" in yellow (with no further diagnostic information).

I believe it is the same issue raised in several other posts:

i was able to do it with the below steps.

On win 10 --> 

"Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center" --> Change advanced sharing settings - Turn on File and Printer sharing 

On Hi -Sense TV - > Home, Input -> Anywhere cast -> It will wait for the device to connect

Back to PC -> Settings - Devices - Add Bluetooth and other devices -> wireless display or Dock

Smart TV would appear there and you should be able to connect.

I use it as my second display and extend my display to the TV when working from home.

SOLVED !!!!

after much faffing and playing with drivers and doing everything under the sun which didnt work......By flook i got it working. 

Turn hisense on ( not in anyview cast mode !!! ) on laptop Go to the add devices and printers section. Remove the little tv icon/ device if its there and then re-add the device .... BUT !!! AND THIS IS WHAT MADE IT WORK , WHEN YOU RE ADD IT DONT ADD IT BACK AS THE TV ICON !!!!! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED BACK AS A PC/SVR/MEDIA BOX TYPE ICON!!!!  Which will show in the row below where the tv icons are/were.  

I then went to my movies and said cast, it found my hisense smarttv ( the first movie i chose format didnt work, but the 2nd one i chose, clicked cast and play in the little window that came up and true as nuts it played ) 

hope i am making sense here

    How did you add this as a Media Device in the other row? It automatically adds it as a TV...really frustrated. Have a new TV and new Laptop...and unbelivable am having so much issues casting. Works fine with my Android Phone.

    1. Were you able to connect the laptop to your TV before? If yes, what changes were made on the laptop before the problem occurred?
    • Never tried, when I try to connect I do the AnyView Cast option on my TV, I connect it on my laptop thought the option "connect to a wireless display" it says creating connection on my TV and after it connects the screen on my TV just goes black and nothing appears so I just exit but on my laptop it shows as if I am still connected so I'm guessing it's something wrong with the TV
    1. Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, kindly go to Settings > System > About, see Version.
    • Windows 10 Pro Version 1803
    1. Are you able add the TV to Windows 10 before attempting to project to it? You may add the TV by going to Settings> Devices > Bluetooth & Other Devices> Add Bluetooth or other device, then select Wireless display or dock.
    • No, my TV does not appear when I try to connect using this option
    1. What troubleshooting steps have you done so far? This is for us to know and avoid any duplication of efforts on your end.
    • I haven't tried any troubleshooting, I'm not sure what I can do. I'm always able to connect my phone while using YouTube to my TV and it works fine, and I don't think it's any network problem since I watch Netflix on my computer
