I pressed on the WINDOWS KEY+C and nothing happened? No menu? Nothing

Same. Quicker path on win-10, hit win-p instead and click “connect to wireless display” at the bottom.
This works with my windows 10 device, but my Moto Z android on the cast screen says “no nearby devices found”
any suggestions?
it is windows + p not windows +c
It’s Win+C
I have two Roku. One’s a 372, and the other is more updated and tiny. I noticed that the 372 will pair, but the newer one will load anx exit out.
I can’t get it to connect. It will find the tv and try connecting, but then it says Could Not Connect
UNKNOWN MALFUNCTION. Audio only. Also How can you do this with wired connection? Router / cat5e.
I also get the message “could not connect”
I was able to connect…but the connection is weak with lots of screen freezes and audio issues. I haven’t looked at the specs of the devices…just feedback about the experience.
