I found a way to do it:

1. Tap on "... more"

2. Tap on "Settings"

3. Enter admin password (default is "sfb")

4. Tap on "Windows-Settings"

5. Log an as administrator; default password is "sfb"

6. Open Windows 11 Settings

7. While in "System" scroll down to "Projecting to this PC" and tap on it

8. Configure it to allow projection; you may define the settings you would like to use

9. Tap on "Launch the Connect app to project to this PC"

10. Now Casting to Surface Hub 3 is possible. The drawback however is, that you need to open the Connect app everytime you want to cast ... not very user friendly.

Another option is to cast via Teams:

1. On the Hub tap on "Share"

2. On the laptop in the teams client tap on the three dots "..." and then on "Cast"

Just tried it and it only works while the admin is logged in. As soon as I log out, and switch to the "Skype" user which displays MTR Windows, the cast function does not work.

That is what I meant with "you need to open the Connect app everytime you want to cast" (as an admin) ... I don't like MS-decision to remove the standard Miracast functionality from the default MTR Windows. But it's obviously a software topic, not an hardware issue - that's the good news. So there's room for Microsoft to bring back the standard Miracast functionality with a software update.

However, as long as you want to cast from a windows client with teams on it, the casting via Teams variant should be a valid option for now.

  Totally agree Max, our corporation has invested in The Surface Hub upgrade package, including two 85 inch Surface Hubs. This is a ticket that keep getting raised and I have to explain every time that it isn't supported.
  MS, please get this working and make our lives easier.

    Do you manage these with Intune? Have you tried to enable the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-wirelessdisplay#allowprojectiontopc?
    The setting is available in Settings Catalog.
