| Failure Mode | Typical Root Cause | Windows 11 Error Accuracy | |--------------|--------------------|----------------------------| | | Generic Windows Wi-Fi driver installed instead of vendor-specific driver with Wi-Fi Direct. | False negative (hardware supports, driver doesn’t) | | WDDM version | Old integrated GPU (e.g., Intel HD 4000) or using Microsoft Basic Display Adapter. | True negative | | Group Policy | Domain-joined PC with “Disable Wireless Display” policy enabled. | False negative | | Virtual adapter conflict | Hyper-V or VPN software disables Wi-Fi Direct virtual miniport. | False negative | | Service state | WLAN Autoconfig service not running or hung. | False negative | | False negative | | Virtual adapter conflict

Wireless display technologies, particularly Miracast over Wi-Fi Direct, have become integral to modern productivity and entertainment workflows in Windows 11. However, a significant subset of users encounter the persistent error: “Your device doesn’t support Miracast.” This paper systematically analyzes the root causes of this error, categorizing them into hardware, driver, software, and network configuration failures. We present a tiered diagnostic framework, from basic compatibility checks (using dxdiag and netsh wlan show drivers ) to advanced registry and Group Policy modifications. Finally, we propose a decision matrix for when to repair versus replace hardware, and offer alternative wireless display protocols (Chromecast, AirPlay via third-party bridges) for irreparable cases. However, a significant subset of users encounter the
