Windows 10 includes a screen mirroring feature known as "Project to this PC," which uses the Miracast standard to seamlessly project the contents of the screen to another computer (or supported devices, such as smart TV and streaming sticks like those from Roku) wirelessly within the same local network. This is a useful feature that can come in handy in many scenarios. For instance, if you have to work from home, and you need a dual-monitor setup to improve your productivity, and you don't have a second monitor. Or you want to connect a laptop to your smart TV (from Sony, Samsung, etc.) to watch videos or play games, but you don't have the required physical connection just to name a few. It's an invaluable feature that's simple to use.

Disconnecting wireless displayIf you no longer need to use screen mirroring, you can click the Disconnect button from the toolbar that appears at the top of the primary monitor, or you can use Action Center or Settings app. To disconnect a wireless display using Action Center, use these steps:
