This time around I was bound and determined to figure out why it was not working. Once I had it, I tested it with Miracast, but it still didn’t work.

It took about two weeks for it arrive at the office. This reminded me that I wanted to test Miracast again, so I ordered an Anycast M2 Plus device. While working on an unrelated project, a question came up about Miracast devices. I tried a few of the troubleshooting steps that I list below, but nothing worked, so I put this project aside for a few weeks. Unfortunately my laptop wouldn’t connect to the device. Later that day I attached the Google ChromeCast device to the LG 4K TV in the office. You can connect it to a TV or a monitor and this allows the TV or monitor to accept a wireless Miracast video and audio signal from your laptop, iPhone, etc. In case you don’t know, Google ChromeCast is a Miracast compatible dongle. I needed some network cables from the local computer store, and while I was there I also purchased a Google ChromeCast device. I needed to know what information I could get about it from SCCM’s database when using Enhansoft Reporting’s monitor reports.

Prior to getting my new laptop, I always assumed that my old laptop didn’t support Miracast, so here was my chance to finally use it! Besides using Miracast when travelling, I also wanted to test it for work. It came highly recommended by a fellow MVP, Steven Hosking (thank you, Steven!). Not long ago I purchased a new laptop, a Lenovo P51. I love being able to watch movies from my laptop when travelling! Before getting started, however, I had some issues getting it setup, so in this post I’ll explain what steps I took to troubleshoot Miracast with Windows 10. If you’re reading this blog post than you probably don’t need me to tell you how handy it is to have Miracast.
