I posted that click and drag with one finger on my MacBook Pro 16 inch with OS Monterey stopped working. I solved this on my own because I saw nothing in Communities. System Preferences>track pad>point & click>turn off "force click and haptic feedback".

I do no want 3 finger click and drag. I had one finger click and drag and it stopped working. I want to restore it!

My best advise then is don't use 3 finger drag...

make other changes to your trackpad preferences to suit your needs.

I believe that was the only option you offered, so I didn't think you had other ideas. I solved myself. Thanks anyway.
