HI,

Thanks for the response,

I can confirm that the remote features in my Xbox are enabled,

"1. Make sure your Xbox Series X and your Windows 11 device are connected to the same network and have the latest updates installed." - As per my post, the Xbox is able to stream to the PC but not the other way around so I assume they must be connected to the same network. The Xbox is connected via a 2.4Ghz wifi network while the PC is connected via ethernet to the same router.

"2. On your Windows 11 device, open the Settings app and go to Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Add device > Wireless display or dock." - I have attempted this, however while the Samsung device shows up, the Xbox does not. I am unable to add it as a wireless device, however it does show under the "other devices" section.







For whatever reason, Windows simply does not recognise the Xbox as a wireless display.

Any other options?

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

I am having this exact issue. I have an alienware m15 from 2020. It had Windows 10 and casted perfectly to my One X and then later the Series X that I bought. I was hesitant about updating to Windows 11, but I went ahead and did. Now I can't cast to my Series X. They're on the same network, they're fully updated, and the networking is working perfectly fine. The problem has to be on the OS because it's the only thing that changed.

the xbox companion app on windows 11 no longer streams xbox, this function has now been shifted to the xbox app for windows 11.
