My windows 11 laptop won't screen mirror to my Roku TV

I have this problem and I have no antivirus other then the firewall. So there has been no answer for me.

    Hi MKC-Mike

    Welcome to the Roku Community!

    To start a screen mirroring connection on your Laptop or browser use the steps below to initiate a screen mirroring connection on your Windows device:

    • From the taskbar on your Windows device, open the Action center Windows action center icon
    • Select the Connect button
    • Select your Roku device from the list of wireless display and audio devices to start the connection
    • If you are unable to find the Action center on your Windows device, you can also view the list of wireless display and audio devices from the Settings menu. Go to the Start menu on your Windows device and select Settings > System > Display > Connect to a wireless display.

    For more information you may visit: How do I use screen mirroring with my Android™ or Windows® device?

    Let us know if there's any difference after.


    Warm regards,

Yes - my post indicated I connect but the Roku screen stops at about a third of the progress.

    I have a brand new Asus A15 RTX-based laptop that refuses to connect to my Roku Ultra.  Much like other posters have said, the progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way then it just quits. On the laptop side the first time I try to connect as a wireless display, Windows 11 UI sometimes will give me an option to select what to do with the display (duplicate, extend, etc) but ultimately the connection is dropped either as I am making a selection or just as I notice the UI change and go to make a selection. I have tried a multitude of troubleshooting steps including:

    • Using a 2.4 vs 5 ghz network off my router
    • Ensuring the network is private
    • I have turned off Windows firewall
    • I have disabled windows defender (I have no other AV on the system)
    • I have rebooted both devices multiple times.
    • All patches and hardware drivers are up to date

    I have confirmed a 2 y.o. Lenovo can screen share just fine with this particular roku, and that laptop runs windows 11, but it is not a wifi 6 laptop as this Asus is. Is there an issue with laptops that use wifi 6 trying to screenshare with rokus like this?  Is there anything I missed I could try to try to make this work. Was really hoping to screencast from this laptop and really frustrating that it can't.

    Update. Not too long after this post, casting started working correctly. I believe it was a windows update that automatically fixed the problem.  

    Since then casting from windows, Android and ios Airplay are work very well.
