Trackpad click not working

I'm in the same situation. My MacBook Pro 2020 also has this trackpad bug. I think that it is a software bug because it just appeared suddenly and the computer doesn't have any physical damage. When I let it turned off for some time it backs to normal but when I don't use computer for some time it happens again.

I am facing this issue after updating my Mac Book Pro recently. A hack that works for me is to connect a mouse, move the mouse when it gets struck and then it starts working again.

It worked two times since I accidently found this hack. Hope it would help someone.

Same issue, the trackpad "clicking" not working (I can move it, but not click), MacBook Air, 2017.

I am having same issue on macos BigSur 11.4 on my macbook pro 16, 2019. Suddenly left click doesn't work anymore and I have to reboot in order to come back to normal. But it happens very often and it is frustrating, I am unable to find any fixes on the internet also.

Thought I've got water damage or something but luckily I'm not the only one. I've got Big Sur running for a while now, but since the last update (currently running 11.4) the trackpad and keyboard freezes after sleep sometimes. A reboot after holding the power button solves te problem for a few hours. Got a 13" MBP early 2015 model and never experienced issues before.

Good to read apple takes this problem seriously :)...

Hi. For me it worked with the following steps:

1. Uninstall logitech app (still didn't work after this, but I've seen a comment about this)
2. Closing the logitech mouse that was conected trough bluetooth (it didn't work with the mouse connected trough bluetooth, but it worked after i've closed/disconnected it)

Good luck!

This happened to me just now. I have only had my laptop (Macbook Air M1 16gb ram 512 gb) for 3 days now. And when I opened my laptop earlier, the trackpad click did not work on most parts of the screen, but the gestures worked just fine. Had to reboot my laptop and now its working again. I hope this doesnt happen again

I just had the same issue start today on my MacBook Pro M1, 16GB RAM, 512 GB. Worked fine for the last few months and it has been nothing but rebooting. Followed some of the online suggestions from the various Mac websites/magazines, but to no avail. Works for about 20 minutes to 2 hours after rebooting and then the trackpad and gestures still work and the click doesn’t. Have readjusted the software, etc. to try and correct but no go. I have the BT Apple trackpad and it has same issue. No Logitech software installed.

After I saw that many people uninstalled their mouse drivers, I've also checked my M1 Macbook for any installed ones and I actually found the Logitech Unifying Software that I've installed months ago. These three steps brought the trackpad click on my laptop back:

1. Remove/Uninstall all third party Wireless Input Device Software like "Logitech Unifying Software"
2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences (the ~ is important) and remove all plist Files with "trackpad" and "mouse" as part of the filename (e.g. com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist). There should be 5-6 files. Better use the search function.
3. Reboot (the files will be created again)

After doing this my trackpad was working again. Some functions like "tap to click" that are checked in settings might not work immediately because the state is probably saved in a different plist. So just uncheck and check again to make it function again.

Did you solve the problem?

my majik mouse was connecting to my computer from my bag and disabling double click. turning it off solved the problem.

Last night trackpad failed for me; pointer was moving but no haptic feedback on click. I upgraded to Big Sur 11.5 and problem solved. Yay!

i'm with the same problem, sometimes when I reboot it work before making the login, but after the login the haptic feedback stops working.

Did someone knows any other way to fix this? Or I need to Take it to repair?

Probably is a software problem, because sometimes works.
