Surface 3 Pro Wireless Display Adapter

Hello,
I have 2 Surface Pro 3's with Windows 8.1 on both. I also have the new Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter plugged into my TV.
1 Surface Pro 3 works fine on the Wireless Display Adapter, and 1 doesn't.
For the one that doesn't, I can connect, the screen on the TV says "Connecting to [computer name]", then the TV screen goes black for about 30 seconds. On the surface, I click Devices, Project, Duplicate, and then I select the MicrosoftDisplayAdapter
and the screen blinks on the Surface for 2 seconds and it appears to lower it's resolution. Then maybe 30 seconds later it goes back to the normal resolution.
I don't have any firewall, antivirus, or other utilities installed. There are no errors in the event log.
There are no real troubleshooting steps online I found to help figure out the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Please ignore the other responses you received. Go to
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826 and download the
Surface Pro 3 March 2015.msi (not the zip file). Don't run it yet.
Go into device manager and expand the Intel Display Adapter and uninstall the
device. Don't remove the driver at this point. Shut down and start up your SP3.
The driver should reinstall. Try Miracast again. If still broken, go back to
device manager and uninstall the display adapter and this time when prompted,
delete the driver files. Restart. Run the msi installer. Restart. Please report
back.

Unternehmenslösung gesucht X1 20A8 mit Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Probleme

1 Business Case
Im Unternehmen kommen ThinkPad-Systeme der Baureihen Lenovo X1 Carbon, T440 und Yoga zum Einsatz. Die Kompaktbauform der X1 und Yoga-Baureihen machen es schwierig diese zur Präsentationszwecke geschäftlich an bestehende Präsentationsgeräte (Beamer) weiter zu benutzen. Dieses ist begründet durch folgende Gerätebeschränkungen: a.) Fehlende VGA-Adapter  b.) Niedrige Bildschirmauflösung 1024x768 (XGA) oder 1280x1024 (WXGA).
All o.g. Notebooks der aktuellen Baureihe erreichen inzwischen eine Auflösung in Höhe von 1920x1080 (Full-HD), der X1 übertrifft mit eine Auflösung von 2560 x 1440 sogar den Full-HD-Standard.
2 Marktlage
Notebooks ab der INTEL-Haswell Chipbaureihe (Bj 2014 und neuer) und Windows 8.1 vorausgesetzt, unterstützen alle samt Miracast ab Werk.
Bei Miracast handelt es sich um eine auf dem HDMI-Kabelstandard basierte Kabellose Video- und Tonübertragungsart bis maximal Full-HD.
Neben Microsoft mit Windows 8.1 unterstütz auch Google den Miracast-Standard, dieses erlaubt im optimalen Fall zusätzlich die Verwendung von Android Smartphones/Tablets ab Version 4.2.1 die Benutzung von Miracast vorbereitete Präsentationsgeräte.
Miracast Technology setzt auf einen Zusammenspiel von Grafikkarten- und Wireless-LAN-Treiber. Die Wireless-LAN-Übertragung erfolgt im Peer-Peer-Verfahren zum Präsentationsempänger. Diese Verbindung entsteht parallel zu einer eventuell bereits bestehende Wireless-LAN-Router-Verbindung in das Firmennetz / Heimnetzwerk oder Öffentliches Internet.
Intel WIDI (Intel Vorgängerstandard) wird durch Miracast ersetzt. aussagen zur folge soll Miracast weiterhin mit WIDI-Empfänger zusammen spielen können.
Während lichtstarke Full-HD-Beamer im Geschäftsumfeld weiterhin eine Investition in Höhe von € 3.500 oder mehr erfordern. So gibt es bereits großflächige TV-Präsentationsgeräte mit 55 und 60"   (140 cm - 150 cm) für unterhalb von € 1.000. Die zweite Gattung reicht für die optimale Versorgung von Besprechungsräume bis ca. 10 Personen.
3 Ziel
Bereitstellung einer zuverlässigen Unternehmenslösung auf Basis von Lenovo Notebooks, Windows 8.1, Miracast Empfänger welches:
Die Benutzung von TV-Geräte für kleine Besprechungsräume bis 10 Personen ermöglicht. - Aufrüstung vorhanden, mit HDMI-Schnittstelle versehene, Präsentationsgeräte für den drahtlosen Miracast-Empfang.
Darstellung einer PowerPoint-Präsentation sowie abspielen von Präsentations-Filme bis zur einer Auflösung in höher von Full HD mit 1910 x 1080, für die Rückwärtskompatibilität aber auch weniger und somit 1024 x 768 und 1280 x 1024.
Obwohl Miracast eine Tonübertragung von bis zu 5:1 unterstütz, so wird eine 2-Kanal-Stereoton als ausreichend angesehen.
Der Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter ist hat eine späten Martkeinritt und ist seit Sept 2014 auf den USA am Markt. In Deutschland ist dieser ab 01. Februar 2015 im deutschen Microsoft Store zu beziehen. Presseberichte zu folge gibt es keine Probleme.
4 Problembeschreibung
Dieser Thread beschäftigt sich allein mit eine Miracast Verbindungskombination bestehend aus:
Lenovo X1 Carbon Type 20A8 - Bios GRET43WW (1.20), Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit - Build 9200
an
Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter - MicroosoftDisplayAdapter_C8 - deutsche Lieferung aus dem Microsoft Store mit Lieferdatum 2.2.2015
Aktuell ist ein Verbindungsaufbau mit Video- / Tonübertragung zwischen beiden Geräte nicht möglich.

Von 3 getestete Lenovo X1 läuft ein Gerät einwandfrei, 2 Geräte haben Probleme mit Verbindungsaufbau – Problem verhält sich wie oben beschreiben mit dem Microsoft Wireless Adapter.
d. Miracast Recierver für Windows
Im standard kann Windows 8.1 lediglich per Miracast senden. Der erste Miracast reciever für Windows 8.1 Liefert die Firma Airserver seit Dezember 2014 aus. Bisher war Airserver bekannt für Lösungen auf basis von Apples Airplay. Bisher habe ich hiermit noch keine Erfahrung.
e. Actionic ScreenBeam Pro Business Edition - Eine bisher durch die Firma Microsoft bevorzugte Lösung steht mit einer zweiten Miracast-Gerätegenation in den Startlöcher. Es handelt sich um eine Baureihe mit Enterprise-Unserstützung. Bisher nicht lieferbar.
5. Frage an die Community
Nach meiner bisherigen beaobachtung steckt Miracast (oder der Lenovo X1) noch in den Kinderschuhen.
Es wäre spannend zu erfahren welche Erfahrungen andere Community-Teilnehmer bisher mit dem Thema gemacht haben.

Surface Pro 3 Display/Video/Graphics Driver Issues - DisplayPort, External Monitors, Windows 10 Build 9926

Surface Pro 3 - i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4400
Windows 10 build 9926
All Latest updates installed
Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4079.
Latest system update released on Jan 22nd (which I understand is just the latest intel graphics driver?).
The display driver status has this error message: Windows has stopped this device because it
has reported problems. (Code 43) - I assume it's
reverting to the basic Microsoft driver when this occurs. Which explains why my displayport (External monitors) will not work.
I have uninstalled the driver completely (and deleted the driver files), tried the Windows basic driver,
and rebooted several times with no luck.
I cannot get my docking station displayport or the displayporton my surface pro 3 working.
According to Microsoft (see below), this is a known issue UNTIL you update to display driver
version 4079 - which I have.
Known issues on Surface after updating to Windows 10 January Technical Preview
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, the Mini DisplayPort won’t work on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or later. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice poor graphics rendering on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or newer from Windows Update. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
If you’re using video driver 3496, you may need to start in safe mode and remove that driver. Then restart Surface in normal mode and go to Windows Update to get the most recent graphics driver.

Hi Nicholas,
Similar issue has been asked here:
Surface Pro 3 restarting after a series of blank screens!
For error code 43, here is a reference:
Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
For the current situation, please try to wait for the driver update, as display driver version 4079 didn't work well at your side, please submit this through Windows Feedback Tool.

Question about the Microsoft's Wireless Display Adapter (WDA)

Only one wireless display can be managed via Intel WiDi at a time.

Hello guys, so my boss got a couple of these WDAs for the conference and training rooms to connect laptops to the TVs and projectors via wireless instead of cables, they work really nice and everything but he also asked me to look into connecting a single computer to two of these adapters at the same time (so sort of using two projectors as dual screen with one laptop for example), anybody has any idea about this? Been doing a little research here on my own but no answers so far, was wondering if anybody can shed some light here.
But as far as i know, it's not possible, you will need to disconnect from the one you are currently connected to, then you can connect to the other dongle and vice-versa.
let me know what you guys think.

How do I scan from my HP Deskjet 6500A Plus to my Surface Pro wirelessly?

My scan app does not recognize my scanner even though it does recognize the printer. I am able to print to the printer from my Surface Pro, but I am not able to scan from the printer to the Pro. Does scanning require a hard connection to the computer? If so, what kind of cable is used?

You might need to install software from HP for your printer.

WIRELESS DISPLAY ADAPTER

Dear, Is my laptop is support wireless display ? is any possiblity there which hardware to replace or component to us widi .

WiDi will require and intel core series CPU and Intel wifi card.

Surface Pro 3 unable to run preview

I tried twice to install Windows 10 9926 on my Surface Pro 3. First, I did an upgrade of my working Windows 8.1. This seemed to work until it got to the desktop, at which point it started cycling something which made it impossible to type and caused a reboot
cycle. I assume a system failure.
After failing to find a way to fix this I ended up cleaning out the entire hard drive and doing a clean Win 10 install. This had the exact same symptom.
So, I finally gave up and went back to Windows 8.1 but wow was this painful. I must have entered my Bitlocker password (all many characters) at least 8 times manually. Then, I had to disable bitlocker (with no indication of how) and then reinstall and then
reenable bitlocker (again with no instructions).
The entire process was about a 2 on a 1...10 rating. At least I now have a working tablet again (but no applications and no data). The 'new' recovery process really needs some user-friendly work. At least one easy way to get into safe mode - please
bring back F8.

Hi there,
I am using MDT 2013 on a WDS 2008 R2 and everytime i tried to image the tablet via PXE boot through the Surface Pro 3 ethernet adapter, i get this error:
Wizard Error:
A connection to the deployment (my deployment share) could not be made.
The following network device did not have a driver installed.
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&SUBSYS_045E0001&REV_00
Retry: Try again to connect to the deployment share.
Cancel: Give up, cancelling any in-progress task sequence.
PLEASE HELP!
YOu most likely need to add the microsoft networking adapter to the MDT console, and explicitly add it to the WinPE group. Don't forget to rebuild the deployment share so it regenerates the WinPE iamge.

Microsoft Wireless Display won't connect

I just received my HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13 and can not get it to connect to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Both are brand new. The Spectre sees the adapter, but it errors when it tries to connect.
This question was solved.

Both are the exact same model. I tried connecting at work yesterday to the one that had worked before and couldn't get it to work. I had to delete it and then readd it to get it to connect.

Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations. I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote. Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display? Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes, I used that and it works great if you have wireless connection. Im looking for a remote that worked like the apple TV remote. My questions is, "Is there a USB infra-red remote that works with mac. I have found this one: Keyspan EZ1 easy presenter. It claims with works with PC and Mac and the reviews are good. Does anyone know anything about it or if it works with retina display macs?

Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

Hi all,
I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
& Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
Thanks for your help...
Ethan

Hi Ethan,
Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
Here is an article to talk about such things:

Surface Pro 3 with AIR-AP1042N-N-K9 Wireless Access Point

I am trying to connect two recently purchased Microsoft Surface Pro 3 windows 8.1 tablets to a cisco AIR-AP1042N-N-K9 (firmware 15.2(4)JA1) wireless access point. The tablet asks for the wlan password then displays 'can't connect to network'. I am able to connect to the AP using other Win 8.1 devices using WPA2-Personal + TKIP. The Surface Pro 3s connect to other wlans using other access points.
Please would you help.

Thank you man that *REALLY* worked!
Regards,
Stefano.

(I suspect it does, as the part number AIR-LAP indicates lightweight while AIR-AP is typically standalone)The best way to confirm is to check the cdp neighbor details for the AP software version (or login to the AP console and issue a "show version").If the software has "k9w7" in the name, that is standalone. If it has "k9w8" then it is lightweight. When operating in lightweight you will not be able to telnet/ssh or go to the AP web page.To convert your AP to standalone, please follow the procedure found here:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp160918-Patrick CroakWireless TAC

Wireless display adaptor with apple macbook pro

can i use my Macbook pro running windows thru bootcamp with my wireless display adaptor? So far it works perfectly with my surface tablet but cannot get it to work with the Mac.

First make sure that printer sharing is correctly setup on the PCs. It is best to make sure that you can print from one PC to the other PCs printer. Once you have established that you can be sure that the printers are accessible from the network. To find out how to do that read Windows help. There are step-by-step instructions and a wizard that helps you with the Windows setup.
Then read the Mac Help on how to access a shared windows printer in your network. Again you find step-by-step instructions how to do that.
