ignore built-in trackpad when mouse is present not working

Hi, I mostly use Bluetooth mouse(Logitech), and like to disable the trackpad. However, not sure from when, the option to "ignore built-in trackpad..." does not work anymore. It's quite frustrating. My m1 MacBook is now running Ventura. Does anyone has a solution? Thank!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0

the Option is there. It just won't disable the trackpad when my Bluetooth mouse is connected.

If that’s your case, you can quickly disable trackpad on Mac from System Preferences(System Settings on macOS Ventura and above) > Accessibility > Pointer Control.


And under Mouse & Trackpad, simply check this option: Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present. That’s it.

Is the user saying the " Option to  Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present " does not work or does not presents itself in that location ?


IMHO the removing the Third Party Software that control the Logitech Mouse would have very little affect in ignoring the Builtin Trackpad
