    Hello,
    I just installed the trial 18.2.0 on my Mac to try using Windows programms in Mac for my company. I realized that a lot works fine, but scrolling is reverse in windows compared to "natural scrolling" on the Mac. I could not find a way to correct this behavior. How is this being done?
    Cheers
    Chris

    Check the Guest OS's trackpad settings. It's in there somewhere.

    I checked that. There are no settings in the guest os. There are only mouse settings where I cannot change the direction. And I don't want to change these settings through device settings (what is possible) because when using a mouse this would mean that it's reverse for the scroll wheel.

    It would be great if there were the standard laptop settings from Microsoft, but they are not visible.

    After disabling and reactivating natural scrolling it works now

    So in this screen, there's no trackpad options? (similar to the image itself) Maybe it only does that for MB hosts? IDK, I'd have to check mine for reference. Oh yeah, forgot to ask What Guest OS you're on.

    Exactly. There are no trackpad settings within the guest OS. But as I said, the problem disappeared after disabling and reenabling natural scrolling.
    Thanks for your help

    Ah, good to see. For some reason it didn't show your post at the time I last replied.
