On Windows 11 not tested on Windows 10. There is an issue with Microsoft Wireless Display Adapters.

- First time you connect to w new Display Adapter it works without any issue. (This adds the Display adapter in the Bluetooth device list on your device)
- Second time you try to connect (you have the display adapter in your Bluetooth device list) it will fail, you then have to hit re-connect and it will connect again.

If you remove the Display adapter from the Bluetooth device list it will instantly connect again, then the issue repeats itself.
Tested on fresh clean Win 23H2 install, issue been present for a long time.

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter on Windows 11. It appears to be a connection glitch that happens when the device is already stored in your Bluetooth list, causing it to fail on the first attempt of a subsequent connection but succeed after a reconnection. There are a few things you could try to troubleshoot this:
  • Update drivers: Check if there are updates available for your Wireless Display Adapter. You can do this by going to Device Manager, find your adapter in the list, right-click it, then choose 'Update Driver’.
  • Windows updates: Ensure your OS is updated. Sometimes, issues arise due to outdated system files. To check for updates, go to Settings > Windows...

  • Windows updates: Ensure your OS is updated. Sometimes, issues arise due to outdated system files. To check for updates, go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for Updates.
  • Reset Wireless Display Adapter: You can try resetting your device settings. To do this, use a pin or a paperclip to press and hold the reset button on the adapter for 10 seconds.
  • Re-Pairing: If resetting doesn't work, you might want to try unpairing and re-pairing the device. Remove the adapter from your Bluetooth device list (as you have) then try connecting again.
  • Interference: Bluetooth works on the same frequency as a number of other devices. As such, devices like cordless phones, baby monitors, microwaves, WiFi routers, and more can interfere with your Bluetooth connectivity. If possible, try moving these kinds of devices away from the display adapter when you're using it. Keep in mind that every system setup is unique and what works for one might not work for another. For a long-term solution, it would be recommended to report the issue to Microsoft support, including all the details about your system and the steps you've already taken. This way, they can provide a more directed fix, or even release a patch if the issue is found to be affecting multiple users. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions or need further assistance.
