No Cast Devices Found – Chromecast Fix

The Guide

In most cases, the no cast devices found error is caused by a conflict between Chromecast and some other software on your PC that has set up an additional Private Network on your PC. Many different programs do that and sometimes it might be difficult to determine, which is the one that is causing the issue. Fortunately, there is an easy way to find out and have the problem solved in no time. This guide will show you what you need to do.

1. Open the Run window by pressing Winkey+R on your keyboard.
2. Type devmgmt.msc in the search field and hit Enter.
3. Once the Device Manager opens, click on the arrow next to Network Adapters to expand the list.
4. Look through the entries and single out the ones that are labeled as private networks. Such networks are the ones that are causing the error with Chromecast.
5. Right-click on each private network and select Disable.          
6. Return to your browser – the app should no longer be displaying the no cast devices found error message and your streaming device should now be detected.

Disclaimer: This is only one possible fix for when the issue is caused by a private network conflicting with Chromecast. However, the same error might be caused by a different issue that requires a different fix.
