    To receive your phone screen on a Windows PC, the Wireless Display feature may need to be installed first. Then use Projecting to this PC or Phone Link.

    1. Install Wireless Display on the PC:
      • Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Optional Features
      • Select Add a Feature
      • Find Wireless Display and install it
    2. Turn on projection to the PC:
      • Open Action Center and select Connect
      • Select Projecting to this PC
      • In the first drop-down, choose Available Everywhere or Available everywhere on secure networks
      • Under Ask to project to this PC, choose First time only or Every time
      • When prompted, select Yes to allow the connection
    3. From the Android phone, use the phone’s casting feature:
      • Open Cast / Screen Cast / Smart View on the phone
      • Select the PC name
      • Accept the connection on the PC or enter the PIN shown if prompted
    4. If the phone is asking for a password for a network name like DIRECT-..., do not connect from normal Wi-Fi settings. That is a temporary Miracast projection signal, not a regular Wi-Fi network. Use the phone’s Cast feature instead.
    5. If using Phone Link instead of Miracast:
      • Open Phone Link on the PC and go to Phone screen
      • Make sure the PC is running Windows 10 version 1809 or later
      • Make sure the PC and Android device are on the same Wi-Fi network
      • Follow the setup prompts and allow permissions on the Android device

    If Connect or Projecting to this PC still does not appear after installing Wireless Display, search for Connect from the taskbar search.

    Hi,

    To project your phone to the PC, your PC must have WiFi with Miracast feature. Let me verify that first.

    In the Windows search, 

    Type cmd, right-click it, and choose Run as Administrator.

    Execute:

    netsh wlan show drivers

    Look for Wireless Display Supported. If it says Yes, the Wi-Fi adapter/driver supports Miracast.

    More on the process later.

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
