Hello there!
I use 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro. I need to reset SMC and I'm confused, because different websites give different methods. I tried multiple solutions:
Which of those methods is actually correct? And should I unplug my charger to reset SMC?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5
Here is an Apple article with instructions for the SMC Reset:

You are very close with the third option from your original post. For a 2018+ Apple Intel laptop you must first press & hold the Left Control + Left Option + Right Shift keys for seven seconds, then press the power button making sure to hold everything for another 7 seconds.

And ... why do you think you need to reset the SMC?
Thanks for the answer!
I'm installing a Windows via Boot Camp Assistant and the touchpad doesn't work when I boot into Windows setup. I had this issue before, and I fixed it by resetting SMC.
Which way should I actually reset SMC?
