Windows 10: 4 finger gesture doesn't work under Windows 10 with Precision Touchpad

Hi,
My laptop has a Synaptic precision touchpad (there are no specific gesture menus under the mouse settings, just whatever windows shows me under the touchpad menu in the metro setting app). I'm running SCU 1803 as I'm in the release preview ring. I've had the advanced configuration for 3 fingers working and with both swiping and tapping function normally and can be customized ever since the 1703 update.

However, I had NO options for 4 finger gestures. I already uninstalled the drivers from the device manager and let windows update it but I still can't activate a four gesture option. Any help would be appreciated since my precision touchpad should be supported after all. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 791g running the latest synaptic drivers 19.0.25.9. I tried contacting Microsoft's support but they weren't of much help. So I ignored this issue for a year until now.

Today, I went through Microsoft catalogue and manually updated my synaptic driver to 19.4.29.3 which somehow enabled the 4 gesture controls. But these do not work even with uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting. (as if 4 fingers aren't recognized by the touchpad).

Any idea on what I can do? Precision touchpads ARE supposed to support 4 fingers no?

Thank you.

:)

 

Touchpad gestures not working in windows 10

I RECENTLY UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 10 HOME FROM WINDOWS 7. AFTER UPGRADING, MY TOUCHPAD GESTURES HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE THREE FINGER PRECISION GESTURES OF WINDOWS 10 ARE NOT WORKING,EVEN THE TWO FINGER SCROLL GESTURES ARE NOT WORKING. WHAT SHOULD I DO??
MY SYSTEM IS DELL INSPIRON 15R.

 

Can the All in One Media keyboard firmware be updated to support three-finger gestures?

Anil,

I'm not sure you understand my question. The gestures on my touchpad work great. All default gestures (one-, two-, and three-finger gestures) work well on my Dell XPS 15 9550 by default because it has a precision touchpad. The native touchpad **has no issues**.
This is not a typical copy-and-paste issue.

However, the touchpad on the external wireless Microsoft All in One Media Keyboard (an external product to the computer that I bought from the Microsoft store) supports one- and two-finger gestures (such as scrolling) but does not seem to support the three-finger
gestures of Windows 10. I am merely asking why that is and whether this can be repaired by a firmware update, or if this is just a hardware limitation (it fundamentally cannot handle three-finger gestures).
