  1. two finger scrolling not working


    So I haven't used my PC in a long time, so I boot it up and find out that I can't scroll using 2 fingers. There is no "device settings" tab in the mouse and options menu, so can anyone help?

    :)

  3. Two-finger scroll does not work after installing Windows 10

    Hello there,

    No, it did not work - surprise surprise. It is extremely annoying and makes me want to just go back to Windows 7.

    I did all the steps offered in your link, also when those didnt work, I even manually set the compatibility and still no two finger scrolling. Still, there is no device in the mouse device list. More suggestions? If not, I am just going back to something
    that works. Another disappointment from Windows.
