Solution 4: Use a Wireless Display Adapter. If you hit upon Miracast failed to work right after upgrading from Windows 7, 8 to Windows 10, perhaps it is due to that your PC on Windows 10 doesn’t support Miracast. In this case, you would better try to buy a wireless Display adapter from Amazon.
- On your Windows 10 phone, swipe down from the top of your screen to open action center, and then check the Wi-Fi quick action. Make sure the display supports Miracast and verify it's turned on. If your wireless display doesn't, you’ll need a Miracast adapter (sometimes called a dongle) that plugs into an HDMI port.
- Being able to cast your screen to a device that supports Miracast makes presentations so much easier. However, a recent driver update for Intel Wireless cards seems to set the default scaling of the screen to 80%. This makes the screen have giant black bars around the whole edge of the display and makes the display area much smaller.

Windows 10 Connect app is one of the built-in Windows 10 apps. It had a streaming feature that required a Continuum-enabled Windows 10 phone to get it working. It also allows other Miracast-enabled PCs to project to other PCs without needing a dock or Miracast adapter.
Miracast is a standard for wireless connections from sending devices (such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones) to display receivers (such as TVs, monitors, or projectors), introduced in 2012 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It works like 'HDMI over Wi-Fi', and can be considered as an alternative connection to the cable from the device to the display.
Windows supports Miracast starting in Windows 8.1. The Connect app in Windows 10 turns the computer into a Miracast receiver, so you can cast another device's screen to it directly bypassing your router or home wireless network. No special hardware is required as it uses Wi-Fi Direct.
