Windows PC won't detect Roku TV.
I've tried connecting to my Roku TV with screen mirroring, but nothing will work. I've tried every solution, disabling firewall, making network private, changing device permissions on Roku, nothing. ...

Yes, you must be on a private network. Next, what version of Windows are you using? Third, are you using a laptop or desktop PC? I have found you cannot screen project your computer if it's a desktop PC that doesn't have a wireless network adapter. Windows uses Miracast to connect to a Roku, and Miracast requires a wireless network adaptor on the computer, even if it's connected to a wired network.
For whatever reason, I have been completely unsuccessful connecting my Windows 11 laptop to any of my Roku devices. The computer sees the Roku and attempts to connect, but the connection fails and it goes back to the main screen. I just tried a laptop with Windows 10, and it connected just fine. But not with the Windows 11 computer.

I have not been able to get my Windows 11 laptop to successfully connect to a Roku player for screen mirroring. I think it's a Windows problem, because my Windows 10 laptop (same room and network connection) works fine.
Roku needs to fix this defect! i cant even keep the Roku tv as default in my devices button. Always have to keep 'adding to device' button when i want to watch a movie. Who knows if it will work again? hasnt been working at all!
Aldz It may not be Roku. I can't get Windows 11 to work with any of my devices, but my Windows 10 laptop still works just fine. Microsoft changed something, and we as end users have no idea if it's something that Roku can resolve. It's equally possible that it's something Microsoft messed up and hasn't resolved yet. I know I can send my iPhone to my Roku devices as well, so some forms of screen mirroring still work just fine.
If its window laptop problem then it very well could be if not Roku tv! Some days I am fed up with Microsoft edge computers. The laptop wont even start right off half the time.I have to wait like 5 minutes sometimes.
I also tried all the recommended solutions. The only solution I could come up with is to use the Chromecast device. The only drawback with that is you have to leave the volume turned up on your laptop for it to cast the audio to the roku tv.
