Trackpad gestures no longer work with Sierra

Immediately after upgrading to Sierra, the regular trackpad gestures that I had previously used with OS X have stopped working on my Macbook Pro. These include the 3-finger drag, 4-finger swipe up to open mission control, 4-finger swipe down to open the App Exposé, and the 4-finger swipe left/right to switch between desktops.

I have checked in the trackpad section of System Preferences, and all these gestures are enabled and should be working fine, which leads me to believe that it is a problem with macOS Sierra.

Has anyone experienced anything similar and/or found a solution for it?

(PS. Yes, I do use Better Touch Tool, but that does not provide a satisfactory solution)

I had this problem but I then realized Apple made Dashboard "off" at the Mission Control in System Preferences by default. Then I choosed Dashboard: "As Space" and now I have more than one space and 4 finger swipe is working alright now.

See using Spaces in Mission Control
