I found an alternative solution to resolve this issue: First, allow incoming connections for C:\Windows\System32\WUDFHost.exe in the Portmaster. Next, open Device Manager, expand the Network adapters section, then disable and re-enable your Wireless Network Adapter. After following these steps, Miracast started working properly in my case. I have to disable and re-enable Wireless Network Adapter every time I have to use wireless display. Could you guys please tell now what might be causing this issue?
