Microsoft wireless diplay adapter....firewall settings?

I have this same issue. This is a miricast device and windows 8.1 device settings is used to project to this adapter installed on a TV. There is no IP address and if there is a specific application it is not readily discoverable. Only solution so far is to disable the firewall willl using miricast.

I too have the same issue other than I'm running AVG Internet Security 2014 so I don't appear to have the 'Scan encrypted (TLS and SSL) network traffic" option to uncheck.  I did find if I disable the firewall, connect to the Microsoft Display Wireless Adapter and then immmediately enable the AVG firewall life goes on.  I really would prefer not to be exposed like that for even a minute or two.

Hi recently purchased a Microsoft wireless display adapter and when trying to connect to the surface pro running 8.1 and 2015 internet security I have to set the firewall off and the connection is immediate and works like a charm.

Just wondering how I can make the firewall allow to accept this connection?

Any help would be appreciated


Thanks

Hi Steve,
For help on your issue please try:
Open AVG and click "Options" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Web Browsing Protection" -> "Online Shield" -> "Expert Settings" Uncheck "Scan encrypted (TLS and SSL) network traffic" option
Thanks

I have the same issue using AVG2015. I disable the firewall, connect, and the re-enable. I can continue the MWDA functionality until I close off my SurfacePro3 or disconnect.
