How does the halving of a coin affect mining?

[Etini]

Halving, also known as "halvening," is a process built into the code of some cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, that reduces the rate at which new coins are generated. This occurs every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, and the number of new coins generated per block is cut in half. The purpose of halving is to control the rate of inflation and maintain the scarcity of the coin, as well as to incentivize early adopters and long-term holders. The last halving of Bitcoin is expected to occur in May 2020. The next one would occur in 2024.

When the next halving of a crypto coin is approaches, how do you think it will impact the mining process and profitability? Will it lead to a decline in the number of miners or drive innovation in mining technology?

I think even if all bitcoin is mined then bitcoin team will not stay just watching the events @Etini, they will produce more forks to bitcoin to monetize their activities. I guess there will be litecoin cash or for example forks of litecoin for same purpose @Etini.

I guess the halving comes up when there is no more Bitcoin to mine. That is when they decide to half it

Halving will affect your mining reward. This is the reason why the difficulty level of mining is increasing every year. IN the pst, people were able to use their PC and easily mine bitcoin but these days it is not possible to mine bitcoin on a PC.
