Hi there
Please try this
If the cursor suddenly refuses to cross over, you don't need to restart. On your primary host Mac, open System Settings > Displays. Simply opening this specific pane forces the macOS topology engine to instantly broadcast a discovery ping

that’s what I always do
displays— advanced—toggle switch several times on both mini and laptop—doesn’t change—eventually it works again but very erratic —drives me nuts
