    Hi. On my M2 I can see Touchpad under Bluetooth & Devices.
    On my M4 I cannot. Both devices run the latest Parallels and Win 11.
    I canot find a difference in settings. Has this changed from M2 to M4?

    I don't recall seeing a Touchpad setting for the past several years. Can you send along a screenshot of Configuration window you are looking at the the M2 Mac?

    Hi,

    Could you please send us screenshots of both layouts/settings/bluetooth options? on the M2 and M4?

    Could it be because there's no gesture support for three and four fingers in Parallels?

    For what it is worth, I don't see that setting under Windows 11 either. However, I use the Apple System Settings to optimize the trackpad. For example --
    • Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control -- This allows you to speed up double-click, adjust spring loading, etc.
    • Settings > Trackpad -- Lot's of adjustments for multi-finger actions.
    Not sure if this helps you or not. Good luck!
