Cannot click part of screen on MacBook There is a zone in the upper left part of my MacBook screen where I can move the mouse, but I cannot select or click. Regardless of the application or using the trackpad or external trackpad. If I move the application window to another part of the screen, I can click. Any idea of the problem? (I’ve restarted!)

Launchpad Not Working Properly Macbook M2 13 inch 16GB Ventura 13.2.1 I don't frequently use Launchpad, so I do not know if this originated from an OS upgrade. It infrequently works when I click with my mouse on the dots at the bottom of the screen. Similarly, The trackpad has a similar negative impact - the screen does not change when swiping the trackpad with my fingers. So far I have verified that I am operating the current operating system, and have shut down and restarted my computer with a negative effect. Realizing I do not have the advantages provided by Launchpad, I have deemed it essential to my work. Any help and assistance would be greatly appreciated. Ron Clark

Apparently the computer has lost contact with the built in keyboard and trackpad and is prompting you to connect those Bluetooth devices.

Has the Mac been damaged?

Press and hold the power button until the computer turns off, then restart.
