Tried Windows 10 built in wireless display casting feature (Miracast) to connect Ryzen+Radeon PC to laptop as a second screen (project as extended), displays only pure green screen on laptop.

First time posting here, so apologies if I'm doing this wrong.

Summary of Issue

Attempted to use Windows 10's built in wireless display casting feature (Miracast) to connect Ryzen+Radeon based PC to Intel+Nvidia based laptop to use as second screen. Laptop screen shows up correctly on connect panel, connects successfully. However, laptop displays only green screen. Mouse cursor still visible. Windows such as Edge browser windows can be dragged into second display area and is still interactable, just not displaying properly due to green pure green screen.
As far as my searches go on google and on the subreddit, I haven't found a similar case so I was wondering what may be the problem here. Thanks in advance to all replies!

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ensure Wireless Display feature is installed from windows settings (Optional Features) on both devices

  2. Set "Projection to this PC" settings in windows settings to allow projection to both devices

  3. Connect PC (Bluetooth 4.2) and Laptop (Bluetooth 4.1) together via Bluetooth

  4. WinKey+P on main PC, select extend, click on connect to a wireless display at the bottom

  5. Wait for Laptop to show itself on the connect page

  6. Click to connect, enter pairing code and connect

  7. Observe green screen on laptop display. Windows cursor shows and is displayed correctly. Nothing else can be seen. Program windows could be dragged into the second display area but is not displayed correctly.

Steps taken to remedy the issue/troubleshoot

  1. Windows update check on both devices -> No new updates

  2. Install all Intel and Nvidia updates on laptop -> installed but didn't resolve issue

  3. Turn off all Radeon Software Settings -> did not help

  4. Attempted all the steps to reproduce on a friends Intel+Nvidia based laptop (I believe it was an intel i7 6700HQ + GTX 960m combo) with my laptop -> Works as intended, so I'm fairly confident it's something to do with my PC
