Mission Control sometimes stops working

Sometimes, pressing the Mission Control button on the keyboard or clicking the Mission Control app icon the in the launchpad won’t open the Mission Control interface, while control+up arrow and clicking the Mission Control shortcut in the dock always works.

Hi, has anyone encountered the same issue? It's been bugging me for a while and I'm on the latest Monterey developer beta.

If you don't mind watching a screen recording of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvkHwGbbLVE

I have an mx keys and I found an alternative that is working fine. In the logi option app I changed the f3/mission control key, by keystroke assiignment and assign the ctl + up. Hope to help users of logitech mx keys and the like

The issue remains with macOS 12.3.1 (21E258) Monterey on Intel x86 iMac 27-inch Retina 5K display 4.2 GHz (iMac18,3; mid 2017). Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad & Magic Mouse 2.

The issue arises only after booting. Then:

Dock NOT showing - LIkewise opened applications (Command Tab) or show-hide Dock (Option Command D) or Mission Control-Exposé (F3) or LaunchPad+Dock (F4).

Fixed rebooting or forcing Quit Dock (lonly process) in Activity Monitor then showing Dock and also two Dock Extra processes. Once fixed, it does not arise again until after the next boot (arises about 50% of the times).

"Apple - System Preferences - Dock & Menu Bar - Dock - Automatically hide and show the dock" is selected.

Same problem here on brand new Mac. MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) Apple M1 Pro. Monterey 12.3.1.

+1 - Just started happening.

Pressing Ctrl - UP does nothing.

The hotkey is enabled in the Mission Control settings.

+1 Monterey 12.4 Apple M1 Max. It lasts a couple of minutes and then works again. With and without external mouse. No keyboard shortcuts for Misison control works either.

Same issue here!

hi all I managed to get it working (stable for a whole day! :) by adding the logioptions app in startup and always keeping it minimsed. I've also rempad the keys to mimic the keystroke and not the native logi options way...

I have the same issue here on Monterey 12.2.1

Had this as well... and the culprit was VirtualBox. Having a VM running seems to kill the MissionControl shortcuts.

Stopped the VM and poof, the shortcuts start working again.

I was facing the same issue on my logitech mouse. I've found a workaround through the logi options software. What you're going to want to do is assign a "keystroke assignment" to your desired button through the customisation feature on logi options. Assign the keystroke ctrl + up, which is what the mac keyboard uses for mission control. Works like a charm now!

From Terminal app run:

killall Dock

That will restart both Dock and Mission Control.

Apple, any update on this? Over a year of restarting Dock... The same issue Monterey M1 + Logi MX2 and Big Sur Intel + Logi MX1

+1. Same issue, really frustrating. Running killall Dock sometimes works, but sometimes I have to reboot entirely.

Running macOS Monterey 12.5, MPB 14" 2021 with M1 max. If peripherals matter, I'm using an external monitor via USB-C to Display Port with the laptop open as a secondary monitor, and using a Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard and an Anker wireless mouse.

Any devs out there, please let me know if you need any kind of debug info. I would love to see this fixed someday.

Mac Book Pro (16-inch, 2021) M1 Max running macOS Monterey.

I have the same issue. I click on mission control and choose F3 the key marked as mission control as either Mission control or Application windows. Nothing happens.

I even sent hot corners and nothing happens. When I click back to mission control it reverts to how it was before.
