How come Windows 10’s Projecting to this PC options are greyed out on my PC?

The most common reason for greyed-out Projecting to this PC option is that the Wireless Display feature isn’t installed, or if it is, there is a corrupt element to be found. Wireless Display is an optional Windows 10 feature that isn’t installed by default. Therefore, many users need to install that feature to resolve the issue. However, the PC projection options for Wireless Display can also be greyed out because of an outdated or faulty wireless adapter driver. If your wireless adapter has a very outdated driver, you might need to update it. Some users have said they’ve needed to reinstall their network adapters to resolve the issue. Or it might be the case that your PC’s Wi-Fi adapter is too old. For the Wireless Display feature to work, your PC needs a wireless adapter that’s compatible with Miracast screen-mirroring technology. If it isn’t, the Wireless Display options will remain greyed out even with that feature enabled.
