Hi
On my Mac mini M1, I have Two Monitors in extension mode.
Display of Time Machine and sweet home 3D doesn’t work.
That works perfectly with Ventura
That works perfectly with clone mode (Ventura and Sonoma)

File sharing works perfectly in 14 and 14.1 on ARM and Intel. What time server are you using, because if its different on the machines SMB wont work.
Installed this update on my M1 iMac and M2 MacBook Air today and File Sharing STILL doesn’t work. What a letdown. I’ve tried many “fixes” in the past and nothing works. I can see the other Mac in Go >> Connect To Server and in the Sidebar but clicking on Network and/or the other Mac’s icon fails to connect to anything shared. Wish I could find an app that replaces File Sharing while keeping all my files local. Strange part is File Sharing works great on my old Monterey laptop.
I’ve gone back to the ever reliable “sneaker-net” method of copying data to other computers on external drives on my own 2 feet. File sharing has been unreliable for years now, and Apple doesn’t seem to care. Its much easier to create a new poop emoji or a hyper-saturated wallpaper than it is to fix a bug in a feature no one needs.
Monterey update to 12.7.1
yay! another 12+Gb download to cover a “handful of bug fixes”. It takes less time to do a clean install than one of Apple’s updates.
The update is 2.5GB on my Mac, took about an hour to download and install
