the wireless screen projecting functionality is not working on my windows 10 HP laptop.

I have tried to connect multiple displays and phones to project from and to my laptop. My phone discover my laptop when scanning, but when I tap to connect, it scanned for long time and disconnect by saying, (try unplugging the connected device's power cables, then plug it in again)

Please tell me some steps on how to fix this.

Phone: Galaxy A30

Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello,

    I'm not sure why this is happening, but here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

    1. Check Network Connection: Ensure that both your laptop and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Screen mirroring using Windows 10 projecting requires both devices to be on the same network.
    2. Update Wireless Drivers: Make sure your laptop's wireless drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with screen mirroring. You can update drivers through Device Manager or by visiting the HP website and downloading the latest drivers for your laptop model.
    3. Enable Projecting to This PC: Ensure that screen projecting is enabled on your laptop:
      • Go to Settings > System > Projecting to this PC.
      • Under "Windows PCs and phones can project to this PC when you say it's OK," select "Available everywhere" or "Available everywhere on secure networks."
      • Make sure the "Ask to project to this PC" setting is turned on.
    4. Allow Projection in Firewall Settings: Windows Firewall might be blocking incoming connections for screen projecting. You can allow projection through the firewall by following these steps:
      • Open Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall.
      • Click on "Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall" on the left sidebar.
      • Scroll down to find "Project" and make sure both "Private" and "Public" boxes are checked.
    5. Test with Another Device: If possible, try connecting a different device (such as another laptop or tablet) to your laptop for screen mirroring. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your phone or laptop.

    Try this out and let me know how it goes.
