Screenshare on Ventura 13.2.1 update for MB Air M2 stopped working

I have a Macbook Air M2 that I've been sharing its screen to my main setup (Mac Mini, High Sierra, two 27" monitors), which is awesome as I can have a much larger display and shared clipboard and can drag/drop files and folders back and forth. This was all working perfectly under 13.2.0. It stopped working after upgrading to 13.2.1.

All permission settings remain the same as before.


I can still connect to the MB Air using a finder window and see files and folders - just screen sharing stopped.

As a test, I tried the reverse - screensharing my Mac Mini to the MB Air. That works, but pretty useless, of course.


Anybody else? Suggestions? Fixes?

Additional info from troubleshooting:

Yes, the screensharing box is checked on the MB Air.

In the finder window on the Mini, it shows up now with a "?" icon to the left of the MB Air advertised name. I don't believe that icon was there under 13.2.0. I think it had a laptop icon, like it does for an older Macbook Pro.

I tried changing the name the MB Air advertises to see if that would show up in the Mini finder window. Rebooted everybody, but the finder window on the Mini still shows the old name with the "?" icon.

I wonder if there's some cached credential hanging around for the MB Air when it was 13.2.0, and is now a different credential under 13.2.1 but all my other Macs won't let go of it -or- the MB AIr won't. All my other Macs have the same problem trying to get the MB Air to share its screen. And, they can all connect to the MB Air for file sharing, but not screen sharing. Most puzzling...
