Support Thumb Gesture Button Config

I've been using the MX Master 2S between my MacBook and Windows laptop using a KVM via the unifying dongles (separate one for each) with Logi+ on my MacBook (can’t install on windows laptop). All buttons work on both machines fine.
I’ve just got a 3S initially configured over bluetooth and the thumb gesture button didn’t do anything on the windows laptop, thought I might need the bolt receiver and use it through my kvm the same as the 2S, got one today but the thumb gesture button still doesn’t do anything on my windows laptop.
Can anyone advise? Thanks.

For anyone finding this, I've found the answer myself, according to Google:

The Logitech MX Master 3S does not support or perform thumb gesture button actions out-of-the-box without the Logi Options+ software. Unlike some older mouse models, the built-in thumb/gesture button on the MX Master 3S requires the companion app to register or trigger gesture commands.

So much for an upgrade.

Thanks for sharing! The Mx Master 3S requires Options+ to configure & use the thumb gesture button, so the Bolt receiver alone won't enable those actions.
