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 am having the same issue unfortunately. However, in my case the connection is simpler- that of a laptop to a Hisense 50 inch Smart 4k TV.

    To answer the previous commenter's questions, here are the steps I have taken:

    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?

    Yes, I was able to. The initial connection and set up was a breeze. The laptop recognized the TV and we enjoyed two full days of casting.

    1. Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, kindly go to Settings > System > About, see Version.

    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.

    Yes, we have tried this too.

    The TV is recognized but the laptop cannot connect to it successfully. However, the TV does go blank but then just hangs there till the laptop acknowledges that it couldn't connect. Then the TV reverts back to the Anyview Cast holding screen.

    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 have done a full windows update as well as updating my video, display, and intel drivers.

    How do you get your laptop to connect first? 

    I sometimes am able to install the tv under devices but then an unable to connect to it at all! 

    This should honestly be taken to consumer affairs! Thousands of dollars on a brand new tv which is sold as being smart and can cast to when it has no casting capabilities!
