Thanks for the headsup re the wifi driver guys. Have downgraded the wifi driver to the previous version and casting works again. (y)(y)

Actually I was having a problem with my wifi disconnecting and in another post I was given a link to update the driver. After updating the driver I discovered it was a different problem. The other day was the first time I tried casting after updating the wifi driver - so that could be the...

I appreciate what you say about some boards not being capable of casting - but my AIO worked 2 days ago when receiving and casting to my laptop, and it worked a few months ago casting to my TV - there have been no hardware changes - yet the message I posted has now come up.

Thanks - that worked, sort of. Following the info I set it up and tested casting to and from my laptop to my PC. When I tried to use it today I had a problem trying to cats from the PC, and found this error when I went into 'System/Projecting' So if it worked 2 days ago why would Windows...

I want to cast my screen to another PC (both running Windows 11). For this to work I need to set this up according to MS instructions as shown in the attached image. However, when I follow this and get to C) this is what I see Neither here, nor in the ;View features' is wireless mentioned...

As the previous owner had only used the system for a week or so and had not added anything beyond setting up Windows when he got it, I decided to try cleaning the registry. I found his email in 7 places and after deleting all references everything seems as it should be. Thanks to everyone for...

As I mentioned, I already did that, and no other users now appear in there - but I'm still asked whixh of 2 users I want to register when I go to install any apps that would be linked to my MS account.

Thanks - there are a lot of options in that post. I'll study them and decide which is the best way forward.

Where does Windows 11 store user details - other than in Settings/Accounts. I have taken over a pc which I have registered to my MS account, and removed the previous owner in Settings/Accounts - where no other users now show. However the e-mail address/name of the previous owner still shows up...

Thanks - that was the issue. I didn't realise there was a Defenders app seperate to the Windows security system. It seems like it is part of the Office 365 subscription and the previous owner never subscribed to 365 so never signed in to Defender either. When I uninstalled the pre-installed 365...

I have just taken over a PC with Windows 11. I re-registered it to my MS account and all seems OK - except: I keep getting a message sayin I should sign in to Windows Defender to stay current BUT it is asking me to sign in using the previous owners details. How do I reset this to my account. Any...

Thanks agsain @antspants I had seen that before, but not sure if it would make a difference. The install package from the supplien included an xml file, but it was not as detailed as one that can be created on the link you sent - for example it did not include the license key. I'll have a look...

What they supplied was a download link for a small 'installer' file which when excecuted puts a configuration.xml file in the directory along with a small setup.exe which seems to run the installation from MS site.

I'm not sure. I will get them out later and try.

The only one listed is 2019 - 2024 has not installed successfully yet. (it was not purchased from MS so probably wouldn't appear there anyway???)
