Deskview sharing won’t close

Somehow I inadvertently opened deskview sharing and when I try and close it out my MacBook Air will not allow it.

How do I fix this issue?

Home Sharing won't activate on my Mac mini M4 I have a brand new M4 Mac Mini. Home Sharing will not activate. I moved the slider to the right on media sharing and clicked the i button. I entered my apple id and password. When the menu box pops up it still says media sharing off and won't let me making any changes. No green light. How do I fix this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Share not working after latest OS update Updated my Mac MINI M1 to the latest Ventura, 13.4.1, and SCREEN SHARING loses control after a few minutes. I can get it back by powering off and rebooting, but it doesn't last long. I can see the screen and move the mouse, but any mouse clicks are lost. If I disconnect from the host computer, iMac or MBPro with same OS, and try re-connecting, it never does. I can access external drives on the MINI, but screen sharing never comes back. Anyone else seeing this?

The "Sharing" menu on "System Settings -> General" is not working at all. It's not clickable. (macOS Ventura 13.6) I tried to setup internet sharing on my intel MacBook Pro 2019, running macOS Ventura 13.6, and I went to the System Settings app, I clicked on "General", and then on the "Sharing" menu item, but it didn't do anything. It's not greyed out, but it doesn't open a new menu as the other items in "General" do. I've also tried that before updating to 13.6 a few minutes ago, when I was on 13.5, but it had the same behaviour. So, rebooting the laptop is not solving the issue. Has anyone else experienced that?
