Windows 10: ASUS’ new Windows 10 device comes with redesigned touchscreen trackpad

ASUS last year introduced the ZenBook Pro with a touchscreen trackpad called a ScreenPad. Today at the Computex, as part of its thirtieth-anniversary celebration, the company announced a new range of laptops along with ScreenPad 2.0.

The original ScreenPad on the ZenBook Pro was found to have a bad interface and it had its own issues. The ScreenPad had to be set to 50 percent brightness which reduced battery backup to just four and a half hours.

With the new ScreenPad 2.0, ASUS has worked on these issues. The mini screen now uses CPU’s integrated graphics that allow the device to save 2.5 times more power than its predecessor. The battery backup has now improved to 9 hours.

You can now also draft Windows app from the main display to the touchpad and process is now significantly faster. The ScreenPad 2.0 comes with a 5.65-inch display.

The company has worked on the interface by making it more intuitive and behave more like a smartphone OS. New Home and back button have been added at the bottom of the screen along with shortcuts to launch your favourite tools.

Users will be able to reorganize the app grid on a smaller screen by dragging the apps or delete by long pressing them and tapping the “X” which appears over the jiggling icons.

ASUS has also added a new button on the bottom left of the screen to let you activate trackpad mode. The company is also working on a new feature that will allow customers to quickly trigger the trackpad mode by swiping three fingers across the panel.

The company has confirmed that the ScreenPad 2.0 is expected to arrive on the ZenBook 13, 14, 15, and the ZenBook Flip 15 this year, as well as the less-premium VivoBooks S14 and S15.

Trackpad stops working 5 minutes after starting up computer (Windows 10)

I have the same issue on a Toshiba Satellite S55t-B5152 laptop. The touchpad worked in Windows 8.1. After the upgrade to Windows 10, the trackpad functions at the login screen and for the first minute or so after logging into Windows. After that, nothing.

The touchscreen works, as will a USB mouse, but I much prefer the trackpad. I tried the suggestions listed by the Microsoft engineer in the other reply, but they did not work.

Any other suggestions?

 

Asus Trackpad Not Working

Hi, my trackpad on my Asus N550jk isn't working despite uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and rolling back drivers. Please help.

Oh and for some reason the Asus console has the trackpad grayed out for some reason.

UPDATE: mouse properties currently says "this device cannot start (code 10) insufficient system resources to start API"

 

Asus X205TA - System Recovery - Keyboard, trackpad and other devices not working

I wanted to perform a clean installation of Windows 10 on the Asus X205TA.

Steps that I did

1.- Create a bootable USB with Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

2. Run the USB as a boot drive to start the installation.

3.- In the installation screen, not let me use the trackpad to perform the following steps so I connected a wireless mouse.

4.- I proceeded with the installation, but also I erased all partitions.

5.- After having the hard drive erased completely I proceeded to install Windows.

6.- The installation process is correct.

7.- To configure the equipment not let me use the keyboard so I use the on-screen keyboard.

8.- After completing the installation and configuration, not let me use the mouse, keyboard, does not recognize the audio device.

The keyboard does work, because to access the list of boot devices I must press the "Esc" key and it works, also to enter the BIOS works, but once the operating system starts I no longer allow to make use of the devices that make
up the computer.

I tried to boot a bootable USB with Windows 8.1 but will not let me make use of the trackpad and keyboard.

The computer is UEFI.

I do not know what else to do.
