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

    I had the same problem. Just follow these steps and it will be fixed.

    1. Go to search and type "Network Status"
    2. Go to Network and Sharing Center
    3. Go to Change Advanced Sharing Settings
    4. Click "Turn on Network Discovery" and "Turn on File and Printer Sharing"

    Let me know if this works.

    All the best,
