Universal Control Randomly Disconnects - Solution

Hi Everyone,

I think I finally found a solution to the universal control issues that have been plaguing all of us. This issue randomly started last week and I was scouring the internet since then. I just happened to try this and it seems to be working. It seems to be the incoming connection firewall setting for universal control.

1. Go to settings - Network - Firewall - Options.
2. Find the "Universal Control" in incoming connections.
3. Click on Universal Control to highlight the row.
4. Click the minus sign to remove the connection.
5. Click OK.
6. Restart the computer.

After you restart and move your iPad near the MacBook, universal control fires up normally and the universal control incoming connection reappears in the network settings.

Give this a try. It worked for me.
