    %windir%\explorer.exe ms-settings-connectabledevices:devicediscovery

3) Name the Shortcut










4) Customize the Shortcut Icon (Optional)

  • Right-click on the newly created shortcut and choose Properties.
  • Click on the Shortcut tab and then click Change Icon.
  • Select an icon that suits your preference or browse for a custom one.

Now, you can double-click the shortcut on your desktop to quickly access the "Connect to a Wireless Display" feature.
