Unstable Universal Control

Universal Control with my M1 MacMini and iPad Air 5 works great for weeks and then just stops working. I restarted the Mac and iPad several times and "push through the edge" refuses to work. I have checked all

the settings on both Mac and iPad and all are correct per the Apple brief. This has happened before and sometime later just starts working again. I am completely perplexed. I am not a tyro user. I spent years using

Sun Unix engineering systems, PC's and have been a Mac user since 2006. Please provide guidance.


Mac mini, macOS 13.5

I finally "figured out" what will fix the issue. Completely powering down, not just restarting, the Mac resets a flag somewhere that allows Universal Control to work again. I still think it's a bug, but an M-series Mac reboots pretty
quickly.
