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

You mean F3 key or ctrl-up key ? When did you first notice the problem ? Never encountered the problem, on BigSur (not Monterrey). But on MBPro with touchBar, fn-F3 does not work, only control-up or Mission Control icon. Did you check your system Preferences (Mission Control section) ?

ctrl-up works, f3 not I'm using an external keyboard. The problems occurs only in Monterey.

By the way: This problem still persists as of December 2021 on Monterey. Never hat this issue with Big Sur. For me the problem is only occurring with my Logitech MX Master mouse and the thumb button linked to Mission Control. CTRL + UP as well as FN + F3 still work.

After waiting some minutes or starting some apps it starts working again.

I have the exact same issue with my logitech mouse and logitech mx keys keyboard. Mission control stops working on the Thumb button and the f3 key, but it works on ctrl+up

Same here with Monterey 12.1 and mx vertical mouse under bluetooth, with scroller click mapped to mission control. It just works randomly, maybe can do well for 10 clicks in a row and then stops suddenly. also tried to update Logitech firmware but the Logi's tool can't find the mouse, even if its plugged in or with the receiver...

I experience the same issue (Monterey 12.1, Logitech M590 mouse connected via USB). Other functions such as launchpad work, but mission control has stopped working.

Same here. MBPro 14" 2021 M1Max OS12.2. Three finger salute; ^up, nothing works except restart of computer. It will work for a few hours, then stop. I also have the trackpad tap not working most of the time. Control and Shift tap takes at least three taps to stick. Control/C, Control/V, Control/Any key won't work unless C, V, Any key is pressed at least three times.

I believe it's software since Monterey. It happened on my 2018 MBPro after Monterey and I thought the awful butterfly trackpad/keyboard was toast so I bought new computer.

I have a similar problem with Expose after upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2 on MBP 14" M1Max. Just stops working. Very annoying, considering to roll back via Time Machine until fixed.

Just stumbled on the same issue, mission control just dies. The ^up no longer works and the 3 finger swipe up also does not work, annoying. Monterey 12.2 Apple M1 Max.

I have the same issue. I am using logitech K380 keyboard and logitec M337 moue on MacBook Pro M1. Mission control works randomly on both, does not work always.

Me too here (Monterey 12.2, Logitech M590 Bluetooth connection). Both Mission Control and App Expose randomly working and not working. But other function from the Mouse Macro button still works (i.e. Search, Launchpad, etc).

Add a Me2 - App Exposé, Mission Control. Not via Swipe, nor button, nor keyboard.

MBP 14" Pro M1 Monterey 12.2.1

I have the same issue. I am using logitech K380 keyboard and logitec MX3 Master mouse on MacBook Pro M1. Mission control works randomly on both.

killall Dock
