Can’t find my trackpad settings. Reinstalled Mac OS Catalina, was about to do my trackpad settings but it’s not there anymore. “Mouse and Track Pad” showing only Mouse settings.

What exact Mac is this?
Old issue, new issue, what changed?
Is your trackpad working?
To trouble shoot further you can:
—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
login and test, reboot and test.

It’s MacBook Pro 2012 13”. Track Pad is working. I have re installed OS and now can’t find the settings to setup my Track Pad. If I click on a “Trackpad Settings” in main Settings menu it’s just searching fo a Bluetooth Trackpad.
Have you tried safe mode?

Do you have any issues with your battery in MacBook Pro. Have you replaced the battery?
See if Apple Diagnostics Test reports anything:

FWIW, you are in the wrong location. You should be in System Preferences > Trackpad, not System Preferences > Accessibility.
Hi Its MacBook Pro 13" 2012. Trackpad is working, but it's standard settings. Never had issues with finding settings for trackpad, but now in System Preferences > Trackpad - it's just searching for a Bluetooth device and I can't see any settings for it.
Hi, yes I have removed the battery and using MacBook without it. Could it be a problem for trackpad settings?
I'm not sure but try putting back the battery and see if it works.
FWIW. since you have a MacBook Pro the Trackpad setting should not be looking for a Bluetooth Trackpad.
Try resetting the SMC.
It's searching for a Bluetooth device and I don't see any settings for my built-in Track pad.
Is it not supposed to be in Accessibility?
What if I removed the battery already and using MacBook without battery? Could this be a reason?
I wouldn't know. I've never run a laptop sans battery.
