  1. Unable to "Cast to Device"


    This seems more like a Windows 10 problem, but it's affecting my Xbox One. I had a Windows 10 update yesterday - usually when that happens, it resets all of my Sharing settings, so I have to change everything back. However, this time, that's not working.
    Nothing that I normally do to fix the issue works, so my Xbox doesn't recognize my PC, although my PC can see my Xbox on the network, and is set to allow sharing of all files. It's frustrating, as I own quite a few digital videos, and I don't want to have
    to transfer them to a thumb drive every time I watch a video.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

    Cast to Device not working

    Now that Windows 10 has arrived on Xbox One the 'Cast to Device' functionality has disappeared. I have tried to connect from several boxes running Win 10 and Win 8.1. All of them can see the Xbox on the network but clicking on the device in 'Cast to Device'
    does not bring up the Media Streaming popup so nothing is streamed!

    Really frustrating - hope there is a fix in the pipeline...

    Unable to Manage ("Remove") Devices on Xbox Music Account

    I can't remove a device from my account either. It re-appears after I delete it from the account. This is stopping me from adding my new device to my account because I am at the max.

    Can this limit for devices be suspended (or at least allow us to add one more device) until this problem is resolved?

    How to stop a device from casting to the XBOX One X on a wifi network in 2023 ?

    Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

    If the settings or preferences options that were previously described are not available on your XBOX One X console, there are other ways you can try to stop a device from casting to it on a wifi network.

    One option is to change your wifi network settings to prevent the device from connecting to the network altogether. Another option is to disable casting on the device itself, if possible.

    To change your wifi network settings, you can access your router's admin page and block the MAC address of the device you want to stop from casting. This will prevent the device from connecting to the wifi network and thus prevent it from casting to the XBOX One X console.

    To disable casting on the device, you can check the settings or preferences options of the device itself. If there is an option to disable casting, you can select it and the device will no longer be able to cast to any device on the wifi network, including the XBOX One X console.

    If neither of these options works, you may need to consult the user manual or contact customer support for the device or the XBOX One X console for further assistance.

    I can't connect local cast app with my Xbox one

    They are referring to the Local Cast app for Android. I am also having this problem not only woth local cast but any app that has the casting ability. Netflix, youtube, etc... are no longer seeing the xbox one on the cast to device list like it used to.
    Was there an update that removed this feature of casting directly to the xbox??

    Thanks!

    Windows 11 casting to Xbox One

    Yes both the PC and xbox are fully up to date, PC has been restarted. Xbox app has been reinstalled and restarted. The PC casts fine to other devices and the Xbox receives casts from other devices.

    Bug: Xbox Windows Media Player cant cast audio

    I am not ready to upgrade to windows 11. Cast has always worked on windows 10 and now after an update to the Xbox Console (to replace groove music with Windows Media Player) cast no longer works. Note, this isn't isolated to my windows 10 devices. No UPnP devices (Android, IOS, etc) are able to cast to the Xbox One console.
