I can't swipe sheets with two fingers in Excel. Something is wrong.

1. Check touchpad settings
Open Windows Settings → Devices → Trackpad
Ensure that the “two-finger swipe” feature is enabled
Check that Excel is set as an exception application for trackpad gestures.
2. Excel Options Adjustment
Action:
Open Excel → File → Options → Advanced
Check the box:
“Enable touch mode”
“Allow trackpad gestures”
Restart Excel
3. Fix the driver problem
Update the touchpad driver:
Right click on the start menu → Device Manager
Expand “Human Interface Devices” → find the trackpad driver.
Right click → “Update Driver”.
4. Temporary alternatives
Shortcut keys to switch worksheets:
Ctrl + PageUp / Ctrl + PageDown
or right-click the sheet tab → select the target sheet
Thank you very much, but
- “Two-finger swipe” feature is already enabled
- These settings are not available, because my notebook's screen is not touch-sensitive.
- The touchpad driver is Synaptics TPFHID Device. This driver is the latest version.
- The sensor device works very well. It works well in other programs and browsers than excel. It works well in excel too, but there is the above problem when selecting excel sheets. I can't find a solution to this problem. Even after completely uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Office programs, this problem was not solved.
