Chromecast not showing up on Movies & TV

Hi there,

I bought a set of movies from the Microsoft store and am trying to play it from the Movies & TV (M&T) app. It plays locally on the laptop using M&T but when I try to Chromecast it to my TV, the Chromecast option does not show up on M&T.

Usually, when I need to Chromecast things, M&T shows the Chromecast option, but now I can't see it on my paid movies, nor can I see it on local video files unrelated to the Microsoft store.

However, I know Chromecast is working because I can see it on my VLC player, so its just a Movies & TV issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    Keep everything up to date, Windows + i, update and security, check for updates, install even the optional ones.

    Well, if it's really a problem with the Movies and TV app, let's fix it as follows, Windows + Q, search for the app, right click, app settings, restore.

    You need to search the manufacturer's website if there is any type of update for the device, or if it is compatible with Windows applications, such as Movies and Photos. For more information on this type of connection, access:
