    Windows 11 won't connect to Xbox series x.


    Hi, I have a problem with connecting my pc to my Xbox. When I open wireless display on my Xbox series x and try casting by pressing windows + k it will not appear and none of my devices will appear, so I am stuck because I am the only person that has posted about this. I have a Blair tech OptiPlex 3060.

    :)

    If you're trying to do the other way around which is to cast your PC to your Xbox, you will need to download the Wireless Display app to your Xbox.

    Once the app is installed on the console, open it up. It will display a message saying that your console is now ready to be connected to your PC.

    Regards,

    Hi Asher,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're trying to connect to your Xbox through your Windows 11 PC. Are you trying to use the remote play feature of your console?

    In order to enable remote play, you need to enable remote features from the settings of your console.

    Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

    Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features.

    Select the Enable remote features checkbox.

    In Xbox App Preferences, you need to select "Allow connections from any device" if you want to remove any authentication.

    If these settings are already configured properly, here are the steps on how you could proceed with the remote play.

    On a mobile device:

    Open the Xbox mobile app.

    Select the My Library icon and select Consoles.

    Select the console you want to connect to and then press Remote play on this device.

    On a Windows device:

    Open the Xbox app for PC.

    Click on your profile picture and select View profile.

    Under Where I play, select the Add a console option and follow the steps shown.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Thank you for the update. Is your phone, Xbox and PC connected to the same Wi-Fi network?

    Can you confirm if you are using the Wireless Display App on your Xbox?

    To ensure that your router is not experiencing any issues or bugs that may cause some websites or ports to be inaccessible, please do a power cycle by turning off the device, pulling it out of the power outlet for 50 seconds before turning it back on.

    Once it boots up and regains internet access, restart your console and PC, try casting your device again.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    That’s the thing neither will work on remote casting it’s just a black screen on the Xbox app and it won’t appear when I press windows + K for remote display so neither will work.

    Hello Truebluestar, this is Manuela!. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you ready to assist with this

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble when you try to connect your controller via Bluetooth to the PC.
    May I know if your Bluetooth driver is up-to-date?

    You can download the latest version available on the manufacturer website.

    Or, what procedures you tried to fix this?
