I have a strange behavior that I cannot find any explanations for.
I currently have Windows 10 installed and my current setup allows me to use "Cast to Device" from the explorer contextual menu to project a file to a TV.
While this works great, the same is somehow not possible when using "Project to a second screen" menu since the device is not listed. The exact same behavior occurs when attempting to cast from Chrome or other applications such as VLC.
Can anyone explain what is so special about the Cast to Device from explorer; why would it work and not anywhere else. It almost seems like it has additional permissions of some kind.
Thanks!
