Other causes can be outdated drivers on Windows, firewall settings, or recent Windows updates. Now that you know the causes, let’s discuss the solutions.
1. Update Windows Build to the Latest
This issue can happen if your Windows is outdated and missing updates needed for screen mirroring. Older versions may have bugs or compatibility problems with Miracast, which connects your Windows device to Roku. Updating to the latest Windows version fixes known issues, updates drivers, and improves network and device compatibility, helping to resolve connection problems.
2. Remove Roku from the List of Connected Devices
A Roku driver stuck can make your system think it’s still trying to connect, stopping the process. Removing and re-adding the Roku device helps Windows see it as new, clearing any old data. This can fix screen mirroring problems.
3. Make Sure your Network is Set as Private
Setting your network to private improves communication, allowing your PC and Roku to connect for screen mirroring by enabling necessary features.
4. Update the Wireless Network Driver
Updating your wireless network driver improves communication with other devices. An old driver might not support new wireless updates, affecting performance. Updating it ensures better connection standards and fixes issues, helping with stable connections like screen mirroring.
