    So I was finally able to connect my PC to my roku Tv. Your method of removing and adding the TV via the control panel seemed to have done the trick it seems, as well as adding the TV on and off of my home network.  It never works on the 1st try via windows connect app, but when I choose project and change between the different options like extend or duplicate I think that trigged the windows virtual wi fi direct adapter that allowed me to mirror.  Thanks for the post.

I am having such a frustrating time trying to connect to my 2018 TCL 55R617 wirelessly from my desktop.  I believe I have checked every setting and updated every driver for every component but I cannot connect.  Windows recognizes the TV as a device on my network but always fails to connect.  How do you specifically check and update your Miracast driver? When I go into the device manager and select 55" TCL Roku TV under Miracast display devices it shows a driver date of 6/21/2006 version:10.0.1904.1  What version is yours?  I have re installed windows, verified that my hardware is capable of Miracast, I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure this out.

 Any help would be appreciated if you know how I can update my  Miracast driver as I think that is my issue. When I removed the TV from the device manager and re added it, it shows the same driver as it did before. I can cast my android to my PC and to my TCL with no problems at all.

did you check the hertz / refresh rate on PC and TV ?
