    Windows 10 Three finger Gesture

    Hi,

    I currently have a similar issue - installed Windows 10 on Lenovo Yoga 2, 3 finger gestures worked fine (up for task manager, down for desktop) then today Windows seemed to do some background updates, and the 3 finger gestures have now reverted back to Windows
    8.1 gestures - i.e. 3 fingers to go forward/back in browsing windows...any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Trackpad multi-finger gestures not working!

    My laptop model is Dell Inspiron 5447 (Inspiron 14 5000 series). This same problem bugs me.

    After updated to Windows 10, touchpad gestures worked properly only for about a day or two. With no sign, 3-finger and 4-finger gestures suddenly became chaotic.

    3-finger-swipe-down opens setting app.

    3-finger-swipe-up invokes Cortana.

    3-finger-swipe-left or right does nothing.

    4-finger-tap does nothing, while 4-finger-pushdown invokes action center.

    The driver version is 19.0.15.2, the latest one. This driver was updated during or after the windows 10's installation.

    I try to disable the 3 and 4 finger gestures in touchpad setting program, then enable them. It's of no use.

    So I uninstall the touchpad driver. Reboot. Install the recommended windows 10 driver from Dell's support site. The driver version is 19.0.9.4.

    Then the proper gesture behavior were back. But same thing happened again, gestures only worked properly for couple of hours.

    I sometimes used the Microsoft ergonomic sculpt desktop suite instead of the build-in touchpad. So I doubt the problem may be caused by the "Microsoft mouse and keyboard center". So I googled it, and found Microsoft has just updated the mouse
    and keyboard center. I updated the program, and it's of no use.

    Then I uninstall the touchpad driver again. Reboot. In device manager, select the according device, and let windows "search automatically for updated driver software". After just a few seconds, the driver of Version 19.0.9.4 was installed again.

    Again, the proper gestures are back now. And until now, it has been working properly for a day. I have no idea whether the problem's solved. But there's absolutely something wrong either with dell driver or with windows setting.

    3 finger and 4 finger gesture not working

    3-Finger gestures unable to work

    Hey all,

    I have a HP ENVY Ultrabook 4-1030us. When the Windows 10 update came for me, I immediately upgraded from Windows 7, and with the upgrade I was able to use the nice gestures such as the 3-finger swipes for opening and closing Task View as well as switching
    between open apps. Shortly after the upgrading my harddrive crashed. I brought the laptop to a shop and they replaced the harddrive as well as installing a fresh version of Windows 10 for me. However, now, although other gestures such as the 2-finger scrolling
    still work, the 3-finger gestures only seem to work for swiping left/right to either go forward or back in my browser. They no longer bring up/close Task View and switch apps. I've tried upgrading my touchpad driver from the Synaptics website and the problem
    is still not solved. Is there any way to get back this functionality? I switch between my apps a lot and the touchpad feature would be really great. Thanks for any help!
