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

    This is such bs...  I too just bought one of these bricks.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize it wouldn't cast until I was past the 15 day return window.  I called Hicense and nope,  no casting for anyone using Android  software above Kit Kat 4.4.    Better yet, according to the supervisor, Hicense has NO plans to upgrade the software at this time.  I couldn't get anything to cast from my laptop (Windows 10) either.  Not bothering to call as I already know the answer.

    This company is manufacturing televisions that are not compatible with other electronics and calling them "smart".  Worse, big name retailers are pushing them out the door by lying to customers about the set's functionality.  I know this to be true because I shopped around before I bought.  I was VERY specific about what I needed the TV to do as I don't have cable.  I was told by ALL three stores that this TV would cast from my phone or laptop.

    I knew it was a 'off' brand, but manufacturing a TV that is only compatible with FIVE year old phone software and 3 year old operating systems?!  PT Barnum would be proud of this scam...

    I had this problem with my Hisense 49H6E TV (SmartTV detected as a wireless display, but would not successfully connect).  I got discouraged by multiple people saying Hisense support states that it only works with Android and will not work with Windows 10.  So I shelved the idea of casting and just used an HDMI cable to my computer.

    Tonight I revisited and discovered that if I just turn on File and Printer Sharing the connection is made successfully.  It's being detected as a Sony TV and running at 1920x1080, and it's not as clean as smooth as an HDMI connection, but it's working.
