Handoff won't disable despite it being turned off everywhere!

Hello - having an issue where my Mac (mini) continues to allow phone calls to come in despite having Handoff disabled everywhere (on my phone, my Mac Mini, my laptop)... Wondering if I'm missing something or if there is a known bug. Thank you!

Mac mini 2018 or later

Have you disabled the iCloud factor between these devices?


Not sure but there are shared items outside the cloud that

work separately when other technologies are not present.


Although clues on how to enable 'continuity' appear here..

• Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681

..there may be some 'toggle points' to disable them also.


For troubleshooting from 'second user' account can be useful.


And startup in Safe mode can re-set certain defaults while

checking them; restart normally will complete the process.


There may be other things to try & do; short of new system install.


{..Further investigations toward this end; not quite an OS reinstall,

could be an answer. The functions presented in macOS Recovery.?}
