what and where is the process for on pc windows 10 that is responsible for receiving cast/miracast?

I would like to cast from android to my pc, which is winodws 10, I have checked the directx diagnosis and my pc supports supports miracast.

I am using bitdefender so i need to allow some processes through the firewall, I just can't figure out where it is.

i have enabled screen sharing setting on private and public network. I am also able to view to view my laptop name on my phone, which says it is connecting but never connects


Your PC needs to be able to receive Miracast. The chances may be low, but here is how to do that:

  • Run Start > Settings > System > Projecting to this PC
  • If you see the following message, then this is impossible: "This device doesn't support receiving Miracast, so you can't project to it wirelessly."
  • If your PC is capable of doing Miracast, continue on by following the Microsoft article
    Screen mirroring and projecting to your PC.
