The Connect app for wireless projection using Miracast is no longer installed by default, but is available as an optional feature. To install the app, click on Settings > Apps > Optional features > Add a feature and then install the Wireless Display app.
To save your time, Windows 10 Settings app includes a special link under Settings > System > Projecting to this PC. From there, you can directly go and install the missing functionality.
