Chromecast not working

Up until recently Chromecast was working and I was able to cast streaming websites from my Laptop to my TV.
The strange thing is I can cast from my Mobile and my Tablet to my TV without any problem ...... AND I can cast videos stored on my Laptop to my TV using the Videostream extension for Google Chrome, so that indicates to me that Chromecast IS working, but I now cannot cast streaming websites (or any non streaming websites i.e. MSE) to my TV.
I have done Factory Resets of Chromecast and rebooted Chrome a number of times, but it doesn't make any difference. I've also looked at updating Chrome on my laptop, but the Chrome menu does not give an option to 'Update' so my guess is that Chrome is updating automatically.
Any thoughts/suggestions?

It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

Hmm, to check if Chrome is up to date, click on the three dots top right (where the menu is, and goto 'Help', 'About Google Chrome' - it'll tell you the version and check if it's up to date, and tell you.0
