Right click (two finger tap) on trackpad does not work as previously, instead it shows desktop.

Question

Right click (two finger tap) on trackpad does not work as previously, instead it shows desktop.

Right after upgrading to Monterey 12.5, when I tap with two fingers on my trackpad, it shows desktop instead of functioning like a "regular" right click (e.g. bring up context menus etc.).

How can I restore the "regular" functionality of right clicking?

I can only do so now when I hit Ctrl+tap.

I have an M1 Macbook Pro (2020).

In my trackpad preferences I have selected "Secondary click"-> "Click or tap with two fingers".

I have also reset the mission control preferences.

Thanks in advance,

C.

No worries about removing it. Over time it will be marked as Inactive until Apple does a cleanup of the Forums and then, maybe it will disappear.

Just to basically close this question to other paying much attention to the question - suggest you mark your Own answer above as " Resolved " This will give it a Green Badge to you reply. That usually will allow others to not spend too much time exploring the question.

Please remove this question. I found the solution (which was right in front of me: I -somehow- accidentally set right click to show desktop in mission control shortcuts.

Thanks for the response. I can't find how to mark my question as "resolved". Is it because I have only 4 points?
