There is nothing that can dampen one’s spirits quite like an error message, and this typical Miracast one is no exception. Thankfully, all that is required is a few simple actions to rectify the situation.
You may mirror the screen of your Android or iOS smartphone, tablet, or even another Windows computer to your own computer by using the Connect software that comes with Windows 11. On the other hand, when you try to run the application, you can get an error message stating that “this device does not support Miracast, thus you can’t project to it wirelessly.”
This error may be brought about by a variety of factors, the most common of which is an improperly configured network. In this article, we will teach you how to solve the issue that occurs in Windows 11 and states that “your PC or mobile device doesn’t support Miracast, thus it can’t project wirelessly.”

Miracast is able to wirelessly receive signals from your mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, by using the Wi-Fi network. Miracast and other forms of wireless display technologies are supported out of the box on the vast majority of current devices that have Wi-Fi.
Although the error message suggests that the device in question does not support Miracast, the issue is most often brought on by variables that are not internal. This includes devices that are not connected to the same Wi-Fi network, problems with the display driver, improper setting of the Wi-Fi network, and conflicts between mirroring apps from third-party developers.
Both of the devices need to be linked to the same Wi-Fi network in order for Miracast to operate. If you are connected to the internet through Ethernet, you should link your Windows 11 machine to a wireless network instead. Additionally, link your mobile device, whether it a phone or a tablet, to the same Wi-Fi network.
To activate Wi-Fi on Windows 11, do the following:

To activate Wi-Fi on Windows 11, do the following:
The majority of current machines running Windows are compatible with Miracast. Whether you have Windows 11 installed on an older computer, you should check to see if it supports the Miracast streaming protocol. This requires making sure that the NDIS driver for the Wi-Fi device is up to date.
To determine the current version of the NDIS driver:
Get-netadapter|select Name, ndisversion
Utilizing PowerShell is another option for evaluating the support for Wireless Display. This is the procedure to follow:
netsh wlan show driver
You may acquire the most recent version of the NdisVersion driver by updating the network drivers on your computer. In order to get your Wi-Fi adapter driver in Device Manager up to current, follow these instructions.
In the event that no updated drivers are available for the Wi-Fi adapter, you may attempt to repair typical network issues by reinstalling the Wi-Fi device. The procedure is as follows.
It’s possible that the adapter won’t be able to connect to the source device because of Windows Firewall. It is possible to temporarily deactivate the Windows Defender Firewall in order to establish whether or not it is the source of the problem. If this is the case, the issue may be remedied by allowing the Wireless Display to pass past the firewall.
To deactivate Windows Defender Firewall:
After you have removed the firewall, you should next attempt to connect to a wireless display and check to see whether the Miracast problem has been fixed. If this is the case, then make sure Windows Defender Firewall is turned on, and then continue with the procedures below.
To enable Wireless Display while maintaining protection from Windows Defender Firewall:
