Before changing two-finger touchpad scrolling, confirm the laptop or detachable keyboard model, touchpad is enabled, and whether pointer movement and other gestures work in more than one app. Keep the current state, exact message, and any recent change available so each result can be compared.

4
Reconnect and restart
