User level: Level 1 (14 points)Mission control in my computer has 2 big problems: no miniatures - so I can't see what's going on in any of the desktops - and sometimes the cursor. Anyone else with this problem?

There have been multiple reports of issues with Mission Control. Personally, it is working fine for me in macOS 27 Golden Gate, with one behavior change that I've previously posted but that is not functionally meaningful. 'Glitching' and 'Dock jumping' are certainly not something I have seen. Everything is smooth as usual.
You probably know that it's working fine for me, and I must admit it was a little startling to open this thread and see one of my own desktop wallpapers in your screenshot, until I realized it's from a post of mine. 🤓
Have you rebooted your Mac? If not, that's the first step. If that does not help, then see if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode. That process performs some system cleanup and clears caches, and also disables 3rd party extensions that may cause problems.
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
If that does not correct the issue, test in a new user account. A newly-created user account will have all settings at default, and if the issue does not occur in that new account then it provides guidance on what may need to be changed to correct the issue.
Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support
Once the testing is complete, the new account can easily be deleted.

Those steps will help to isolate the problem.
It might help to download and run EtreCheck, written by a long-time forum member. The free version is fine. Post the full report using the Additional Text button. No personal information is revealed.

Looks like it is stuck in some intermediate state.
Have you restarted in Safe Mode, then restart normally?
If that doesn’t resolve things, perhaps reinstall macOS from recovery. There have been numerous posts where a lot was wrong with the initial install and a reinstall fixed those things. Reinstalling used to be a common fix for weird behaviors after an upgrade, but that hasn’t been necessary in quite a long time.
