Hi KEVSAIT,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you do not have the option to extend your Mac desktop using Sidecar and we'd like to assist.

Has this ever worked for you? Just to confirm everything is set correctly, follow this: Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac

Do you have any other displays connected?

Have you tried testing this issue while booted up into safe mode or under a test user account?

How to use safe mode on your Mac

Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac

Delete a user or group on Mac (to remove the test account once completed)

Keep us posted on your findings and if the issue persists, just let us know.

Cheers!
