Universal Contro Macbook Pro/Ipad Pro keeps disconnecting after Ventura update

Hi, I just updated to Ventura on my Macbook Pro, and Universal Control started disconnecting after 5 minutes of establishing connection. Everything was working fine before the update and the Ipad was connected automatically every time I restarted the Macbook, and it stayed connected for the whole day.

This is definitely a glitch introduced by updating to Ventura.

Do you know what changed and if this could be fixed?

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

* If using macOS Ventura or later, click the add button (+) in the upper-right corner of the Displays settings window, the choose your iPad or other Mac from the menu.
* If using macOS Monterey, click the Add Display button the lower-left corner of the Displays settings window, then choose your iPad or other Mac from the menu.
* Make sure that each device meets the Universal Control system requirements and is using the latest software updates for Mac and software updates for iPad.
* Make sure that your devices are near each other—ideally within 1 meter (3 feet).
* Put your devices to sleep, then wake them up.
* Turn off Universal Control on each device, then restart each device and turn Universal Control back on.
