Is there a setting to make screensharing on my MacBook Pro stick permanently?

I mostly use my macbook via vnc screen sharing. I enable it on the macbook and it works for a while, but at some point I need to go back to the physical macbook and and enable it again. Is there some way to have it stick permanently, even if the vnc session is new.

MacBook Pro Screen turns black after Screen sharing with macOS 15.2 I connect from my personal MacBook Pro 16 M2 Max to my Corporate MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max using screen sharing. First I had problems with High Performance, but now I have connected them using a USB-4 cable properly recognised as Thunderbolt bridge, but the problem is independent of using the TB/High Performance. Every time I close the session either disconnecting from the Screen Sharing App from my personal MB or pressing the icon of Connection Sharing on the work laptop, the screen of the work laptop remains black. I could connect properly again another Screen Sharing session, but I need to force reboot if I want to use it locally (for example, I am going to the office). There is no way to regain the local control of the corporate laptop. After reboot it works properly until I start another Screen sharing session. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any other way to close the session? (Note: I did not test disabling the screen sharing on the corporate laptop to close the session, since I have to request access to elevate permissions and it has to be authorised - MDM/Jamf - and wait my manager to approve it. The same to enable it again) Both MacBooks have the latest version/patches (Sequoia 15.2) [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Mirroring Separate Displays Hello, I was using a projector by screen sharing my MacBook. I used the 'Use as a separate display' option, and I accidentally switched my main screen (my MacBook) and the second screen (my projector). Now, whenever I screen share with that projector, all my tabs are stuck to the projector since it is the main screen. How do I switch them back? Thank you in advance.

I'm wondering if the connection is not lost when the Mac goes to sleep. Have you tried fiddling with the sleep settings?
