How to fix handoff under Ventura 13.5.1 (EtreCheck report available)?

After updating my Macbook Pro to the latest OS (Ventura 13.5.1), handoff is no longer working. I checked and tried all the obvious and given solutions provided on the internet, but with no result.


My iPhone 13 Pro is running the latest iOS (16.6). I have rebooted both devices and all are on the same Wifi with active Bluetooth. Toggling these Off and On also does not help.


It worked fine until yesterday, I woke up and my iPhone had updated, so I updatet my Macbook Pro which is when iI discovered this issue.


Not sure if I am the only one experiencing this behaviour..


I have added an EtreCheck report for anyone who wants to take a peak at what might be causing this issue.


Thanks in advance to anyone for any effort trying to help me!


Cheers,

Steven

Really, not to appear flippant, but " Not sure if I am the only one experiencing this behaviour.. " - Not the only one to have used there unless applications


More than one antivirus app - This computer has multiple antivirus apps installed.


Antivirus software: Apple, CleanMyMac, and Sophos


Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 


1 - Disk Cleaner 


This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac


2  - Third Party Security Software 


 Sophos Av Software


Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.


The The Built in Security  is all that is required.
