My MacBook Pro just stopped scrolling with 2 fingers on the trackpad. What do I need to do?

There is no scrolling action when I use the trackpad with two fingers. This happens in-app or in a Finder window. I checked settings, and it looks like the trackpad is set up correctly. Is there somewhere else where this setting can be changed?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.6

It sounds like some glitch may have confused the OS.


Have you restarted your Mac?

If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to do disk repair, clear caches and other housekeeping and disables acceleration and third-party mods. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.


Does the same thing happen while in Safe mode?


You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally.
