MacBook Pro m1 Pro trackpad gestures stops working

Does anyone know, if apple are working on a fix, that causes three and 4 finger gestures not to work on the trackpad? It seems to have gotten worse after updating to Monterey 12.1.


-A fast temporary fix, is to stop the Dock process through activity monitor, but im getting a little tired of doing the ones or twice a day.


Or do someone know what the cause is to why its suddenly stops working.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.1
