Screen sharing. This service is currently unavailable
I am experiencing persistent issues with the sharing services on my MacBook Pro Max M1 (2021) running macOS Sequoia 15.1.1. When I navigate to System Preferences > General > Sharing, all sharing options (e.g., Bluetooth, Internet Sharing, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, Printer Sharing, Remote Access, Remote Management) are disabled. Each option displays a warning icon and the message: "This service is currently unavailable."
