Boot Camp Manager/Setting trackpad options missing in Window 10

Problem:

I am trying to gain the ability to scroll and right-click with the Magic Trackpad 2 in Windows 10.

I found this Apple support post about setting trackpad options: Set trackpad options in Windows with Boot Camp on Mac - Apple Support.

In the post, it claims that I should be able to click a "Boot Camp icon" in the task bar while running Windows. That icon unfortunately is not present to me in Windows.

I tried looking for a solution and happened upon this article about how to resolve the issue: https://www.intowindows.com/fix-boot-camp-icon-is-missing-from-taskbar-system-tray/

I tried employing Methods 1 & 2 but could not find Boot Camp Manager in the Notification Area or Task Manager.

Any idea of how I can get Boot Camp Manager on Windows so I can then get the trackpad to function properly? Thanks

You can check Program and Features for any installed Apple drivers. You can also check for any unknown devices in Windows Device Manager.

Also, is it expected that I should have to manually install these drivers on Windows? I would assume not. I thought that Boot Camp Assistant would take care of everything.

Typically, they should be installed automatically. If they are not, Download and install Windows support software on your Mac - Apple Support.
