Main Features

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (Microsoft WDA) is a lightweight app distributed online only on Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC platforms. It facilitates proper detection, connection, and secure and reliable operation of display transmission using Wi-Fi Direct technology. Users can not only transfer their desktop area with regular Windows apps, but also stream video, display pictures, play video games, and more.

The app features a streamlined user interface with easy navigation tools for the discovery of all its included features, including searching for available wireless displays, connecting to them, adjusting the mode of operation, setting the security features, and more. In addition to transmitting the main display onto one wireless display, the app can also mirror one display into multiple wireless ones, which is useful in school, work, or meeting room environments.

While this app can properly detect and manage a wide array of wireless display adapters, it has built-in support for special features that can be achieved only on official Microsoft 4K Wireless Display Adapter hardware, such as quick connect service, network boost feature, and support for HDCP digital copyright content streaming.
