Hi Helmut, thanks. I'm not sure that's the whole story though, or I'm missing something. I'm not seeing the references you're seeing. I get the same DxDiag message as you; but if it is the integrated graphics, why wouldn't Intel just say that, instead of referring me to MIcroosoft? Agreed the...

So ... not a lot of help from Intel, bar a reposting of the out of date "Frequently Asked Questions about Intel® Graphics Drivers Support for Miracast*" "Upon further review of the issue you reported, we have determined that it falls outside the scope of our support" - no explanation as to why...

I've posted the question, with specific reference to the graphics card, on the Intel support forum, so we'll see what happens. I don't expect any response for a couple of days though.

Hello Helmut, thanks. I hadn't considered the wireless card itself, as it appeared to be talking to the TV but then failing to set up the screen share, rather than not talking at all. According to Device Manager the wireless adaptor is 'Killer Wi-Fi 7 BE1750w 320MHz Wireless Network Adapter...

As above - the TV says <laptop name> and 'connecting', then nothing happens; the laptop says 'connecting', waits until the TV's stopped trying, then after a few seconds says 'Couldn't connect'. Thanks for the link, but I have tried the options on that page without success, unfortunately.

Hi all, I'm finding I can't cast to a TV from my Win 11 laptop, either via Settings > System > Display > Connect to a wireless display or via Windows + K. I'm trying on a Samsung S95BA TV at present as that's what's where I am at the mo, but I've also failed with an LG TV. Each time I try...

Well, the laptop's gone now, but I'd tried all the display settings I could find or think of, and it didn't make a difference; I'm pretty sure it was an inherent display issue, not a resolution, scaling or refresh rate issue.

Hi all, just wanted to follow up on this in case anyone else refers to it. Changing the adaptive brightness settings fixed the colour and brightness changes, but I wasn't able to find a solution for the display sharpness problems despite using different (and non-Microsoft) imaging apps. It...

Wondered if it might be something like that, thanks.

Thanks all again. All useful commentary. @Taliseian @SlicEnDicE Your processes don't sound too different from the way I'm doing things; maybe a bit more in depth in places, maybe not quite the same order, and I don't tend to use tuneup apps etc.' except that it sounds as though @SlicEnDicE is...

Hi all, For various reasons my backup discipline has become undisciplined, so I have a lot of files and folders to sort out. I'm a little worried - perhaps unnecessarily - about corruption in files or on drives that haven't been touched in a long time, and I definitely have accumulated a lot of...

Morning all, To follow up (and as a discussion point, future reminder for me, and maybe a help to others) this is what I did, end to end. The context is UK buyer, so no quibble returns in 14 days, and I'd just had a bad experience with another laptop that this one replaced so was cautious...

Hi all, thanks again to everyone for your help. I think I have solved this satisfactorily, and in my case I was probably worrying too much, but at the same time I think I'd advise full removal in cases of doubt for the reasons discussed above. I wasn't happy with the amount of Office leftovers...

I'd heard of that. I didn't take up the trial and don't have it or the perpetual licence registered to an MS account though, so in this case I'm OK. @idgat @Edwin @Marcus Vinicus, thanks. @Edwin, I wasn't sure you could install over the top like that - normal advice seems to be don't as it'll...

Turned out I wasn't fresh this morning either, so it didn't get done today and I'm frazzled from work now. Try again tomorrow.
