    I have an HP Envy x360 laptop with 4k screen resolution, with VMware Workstation Pro 16.1.2 installed on Windows 21H1, but the Touchpad Gestures (like scrolling) were not working in Virtual Machines.

    However, today, I noticed that if I run the VMware Workstation as Administrator, the Touchpad Gestures work!!

    Whilst it is embarrassing not to have tried it earlier, especially that I had a Dell laptop with VMware Workstation Pro 15.x.x and the touchpad was working fine on it. But with similar complaints on the net, I reckoned it probably was due to immature drivers for some applications and give it sometime, this issue must be fixed.

    I have solace in knowing that as one gets old, one looses perseverance and one gets visits of "Alzheimer"; more often.

    I hope this helps someone..
