Hello L,
I understand the inconvenience.
Please follow below mentioned steps to update the recommended settings in AVG Firewall:
1) Open the AVG Internet Security dashboard and click on "Menu–>Settings–>Components–>Firewall–>Customize"
To the right of "Policies" scroll down to click on "System Rules"
2) Enable the option for "Windows file sharing and printing", "allow remote desktop connection" and the last entry "Enable stealth mode"
3) Below policies, click on "Network Profiles", to the right click on the network connection and change the profile to "Private" if it is set to "Public".
Keep us informed about the status.
I am using a paid version of AVG Internet Security on my Surface Pro 3 Tablet. I cannot figure out how to allow my Microsoft Display Adapter through the firewall. When I disable the firewall the connection works great! When the firewall is enabled it will not allow me to connect the the MDA. I have read some threads. Changing the network profile to private or public does not change anything. Somebody please help me! It is very annoying to have to disable the firewall to connect the adapter for teaching.
For Everybody asking the same question out there- AVG Staff does not have the answer to this Question!
I found the answer on another thread- I will copy the resolution below. Thanks Rod Tod!

I have kept at it and found a solution to get miracast wirelss display working with AVG and windows 10.
I am on the 2017 version of AVG.
First, disable AVG and then connect to the wireless display.
Go to windows network connections page. The easiest wy is to right click on the windoes icon (LH corner) an select from the menu.
There will be a new WIFI connectioon shown which is the miracast device. Mine had a desciription of direct virtual connection… Note the name of the network. Mine was DIRECT-SAR0…
Then go to AVG menu -> settings -> components -> firewall ->customise
Look for the network with the name of your Miracast. Select the profile to be private.
Ok all the steps back out of AVG.
You should then be able to re-enable AVG, and get successful Miracast connections.
I have tried this with both the Microsoft Wireless Display adpater, and a NetgearPush2TV adapter and both work.
Took a lot of hours to eventually get this to work, but perseverance…
Thanks a lot L F, it absolutely work for me!
