Wireless display app, controller not working

So the answer is yes. The term "Wireless display" is sort of a misnomer. The display isn't actually wireless, it's more like Remote Desktop, where you're controlling the PC on a different device without the display DIRECTLY (where the wireless part comes
in) connected to the device.

So this article loosely outlines how it works. You'll need the Wireless Display app installed on the PC and the
Xbox One, and they'll need to be connected to the same local network. You'll connect the two in the app, and then control the PC via the app. A mouse and keyboard hooked up to the Xbox One are the best methods for controlling that, but you could put your
PC in Big Picture mode if you want to control it more easily that way.

It's more like reverse streaming via the Xbox App, but using the Wireless Display app, so it won't be a wireless display, per se, but it will need to be wired to your Xbox.

Let us know if you have any problems or questions in trying to get that set up, and we'll be happy to help!

I agree that this does match what I have seen.

What I cannot fathom is why the dev team did not anticipate a very common use case:

Xbox One connected to wired LAN - because it is not portable and I will always use a wired connection when it is available...right?

Portable Device (phone, tablet, laptop) connected to WIFi- because it is portable and I do not want the hassle of a cable... right?

Yet this scenario appears to be the one the dev team overlooked...right?

same here. I have been working at this all day. Customer support didn't even know what I was talking about until I told him to look it up. He then said oh yeah I see that multiple people are having the issue. Then he just said look in the forums for the
answer. I couldn't believe he said that to me. Well I feel we have a strong community here so, I am hoping that the issue can be resolved.

Yep. Same issue here. Been trying to make it work all day as well. Even updated the hell out of Windows 10, still no win. Was really looking forward to this.
