How to Adjust Projecting Settings in Windows 11

Adjusting projecting settings in Windows 11 lets you control how other devices connect wirelessly to your PC.

This feature, often called “Projecting to this PC,” allows you to mirror your phone, tablet, or another computer’s screen onto your Windows 11 computer.

You can manage these settings to decide when you want to allow these connections. For example, you can choose to be asked every time someone tries to project to your PC.

This is useful for sharing presentations, watching videos from your phone, or even using your PC’s keyboard and mouse to control another device.

On the right, select Projecting to expand this PC tile.

On the System -> Projecting to this PC settings panel, under “Ask to project to this PC“, choose the option from the dropdown list.

Whatever option you select will apply when a device wants to project to Windows.
