Ortur laser stopped cutting inside shapes first

"it just quit cutting the inside shapes"

If you inadvertently turned off Optimize Cut Path in the Laser window, that would do it. The first choice in the optimization list is Cut Inner Shapes First, but that’s harder to flip without noticing.
Also, if the outer shape isn’t closed, it doesn’t have an “inside” and that may confuse the algorithm. Click Edit → Select Open Shapes and see if the outer boundary is selected; if so, then closing it should help.
