Your PC doesn’t support Miracast – Windows 10 error

Some Windows 10 PC users have encountered the Your PC or mobile device does not support Miracast, so it cannot project wirelessly error when trying to connect via a Microsoft wireless display card using Miracast. Most affected users report that this error occurs even after making sure that they meet all the requirements to run Miracast. In today's article, we will explore the possible causes and solutions to this problem.

Your PC does not support Miracast

You may experience this Miracast problem for the following reasons:

1. Intel graphics hardware is disabled.
2. Wi-Fi is disabled.
3. One of the devices is not compatible with Miracast.
4. The wireless adapter is forced to 5 GHz.
5. Cisco AnyConnect or similar software terminating the Miracast connection – The Miracast connection may not be established because third-party software with a built-in VPN function reported Micracast technology as a "Split Tunnel" security risk.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following suggested solutions in no particular order:

1. Make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on both devices
2. Activate Intel Integrated Graphics and update it to the latest version
3. Change the wireless adapter to Auto
4. Disable any active VPN solution
5. Uninstall / reinstall the wireless network adapter driver

Now let's go to the detailed troubleshooting steps.

Before continuing with the troubleshooting steps described above, first check if your PC is Miracast compatible. Two main components feed a Miracast connection: the network and the graphics.

Start by performing a few tests that will reveal whether your system is capable of supporting a Miracast connection – checking if your network card is compatible, then check if your graphics drivers are equipped to support Miracast.

Here's how:

To test the graphics drivers, run the DirectX diagnostic tool (dxdiag).

Once the DirectX diagnostic tool page opens, click on the Pin up tab and look at the bottom of the conductors in the right pane of the Pilot model. If the pilot model does not specify WDDM 1.3 or higher, your system is not equipped to support a Miracast connection.

You can exit the DxDiag page.

Then right click beginning, select Windows PowerShell to launch the PowerShell window.

Copy and paste the command below into the Powershell window and press Enter to check if you have the correct version of the network card driver:

Get-netadapter|select Name, ndisversion

If the return NdisVersion is above 6.30, your PC is equipped to support Miracast from a network point of view.

You can exit the Powershell window.

Note: If your NdisVersion is under 6.3, you can open Device Manager and then try to update the driver for your wireless network adapter. If that doesn't work, you can stop following the other procedures below because your device is not compatible with Miracast.

1) Make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on both devices

Miracast uses Wi-Fi Direct, you don't necessarily need your two devices to be connected to the same network, but you need to make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled on all devices.

To make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on a Windows 10 PC, tap Windows key + R to open a Run dialog box. Copy and paste ms-settings: wifi-network and hit Enter to open the Wi-Fi tab of the Network & internet Settings menu.

In the Wi-Fi tab, make sure the toggle button associated with Wi-Fi is enabled Sure.

Users will also need to verify that Wi-Fi is enabled on the other device. The way users do exactly that varies from device to device, but users can usually adjust Wi-Fi settings on iOS and Android platforms from the Settings menu.

2) Activate Intel Integrated Graphics and update it to the latest version

You need a supported integrated Intel graphics card to create a Miracast connection, the problem may occur because the integrated graphics solution is disabled in your BIOS settings.

To access your BIOS settings, you will need to press the BIOS key at the start of the boot procedures. You can also search online with "bios key + your motherboard manufacturer".

Once you enter your BIOS settings, look for a Advanced (Expert settings or something similar) and look for an entry named or similar to Advanced chipset settings.

Then select SouthBridge configuration and change the Main graphics adapter at IGP> PCI> PCI-E.

3) Change the wireless adapter to Auto

It is known that users can Your PC does not support Miracast error because their wireless adapter was forced to 5Ghz or 802.11blg instead of being set to car.

In this case, you can correct the problem easily by changing the wireless mode selection back to Auto.

Here's how:

• Right click beginning, then select Device Manager.
• In Device Manager, click the chevron in the Network adapters category to collapse the section.
• Then right click on the wireless network card there and select properties option.
• Click it Advanced tongue.
• Scroll and select wireless mode property.
• Then select car on the Value scrolling menu.
• Click on D & #39; agreement and wait until the network connection is restored.

Then restart your computer and check if you can use the Miracast function.

4) Disable any active VPN solution

Several third-party VPN solutions (including Cisco AnyConnect) reject WiFi Direct (the underlying technology behind Miracast). Typically, these third parties will activate WiFi Direct as a split tunnel security vulnerability, forcing the system to disable the functionality.

In this case, the only way to test if this scenario occurs in your particular situation is to disable Cisco AnyConnect or similar software, restart your computer, and see if you can create a Miracast connection.

5) Uninstall / reinstall the wireless network adapter driver

Here, uninstalling and then reinstalling the wireless network card driver may resolve the issue Your PC or mobile device does not support Miracast Fault.
