Apple USB keyboard frequently will not connect to M1 Mac mini running running macOS Ventura. Other keywords will connect. The apple keyboard will connect to other Apple computers not running Ventura. The Apple USB keyboard will also connect to Dell machines running Windows10. The problem seems to be Ventura. How can this be fixed so that an Apple USB keyboard can be used with a M1 Mac mini running the latest OS?
Mac mini, macOS 13.0

Have you shut down both and restarted both...?
On the Mac you can try a —SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

SafeBoot did not solve the problem.
Reinstalling macOS Ventura 13.0 did not solve the problem.
Restarting has not solved the problem.
Creating a new user has not solved the problem.
Eliminating startup items has not solved the problem.
Removing power for an hour after shutdown then starting did not solve the problem.
I have also noticed before and after all this the Privacy & Security area in Settings does not have an Allow Accessories section under the Security area. Could that indicate a hardware problem on my M1 Mac mini?
