    ASUS x540UB - Issues with drivers after trying to downgrade to Windows


    I recently tried to downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 7 on my ASUS x540UB because I thought Windows 7 would be faster and less bloated. Unfortunately, when I booted up Windows 7, I noticed that there were a bunch of devices that didn't have drivers (the touchpad and wireless card included). I did some research and discovered that there were no drivers available for this hardware that would be compatible with Windows 7 so I made the decision to go back to Windows 10.

    And this is where I am now:

    After re-installing Windows 10, I seem to be having the same issues. The touchpad, wireless card and many other devices do not have drivers and I can't seem to install any for them. Using a different PC and USB, I've gone onto the ASUS website and downloaded this laptop's drivers and tried to install them but they don't seem to actually work, despite saying they've installed successfully. I've tried updating the BIOS but my Windows partition doesn't appear in EZ Flash 3 and so I can't navigate to the BIOS update. I've also tried doing a hard reset but, of course, it fails in an unspecified way at around 73%.

    Interestingly, the touchpad seems to be working while in the BIOS but will stop when Windows starts. Also, for any device that does work, they each have generic Windows 10 drivers (and show up as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, Generic PnP Monitor, and so on). If I try to update them to an ASUS driver, they still show up as the generic driver.

    I'm at a loss as to what to do from here so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

    :)

  3. Asus Smart Gesture and Asus Touchpad Driver *Wrong Driver Issue*

    Hi GamerChancer,

    You might be getting the error because the Windows Installer service might not be running. In line with this, let's try to start
    the Windows Installer services. Follow the steps below:

    1. Press the Windows key +
      R.
    2. Type Services.msc, and press Enter.
    3. Double-click Windows Installer.
    4. Set the Startup type of Windows Installer to Manual.
    5. Click Start to start the service. (Note down the error message if any)
    6. Click OK.

    If the problem continues, I suggest that you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer. Here are the steps:

    1. Press Windows key + R.
    2. To unregister the Windows Installer, type msiexec /unreg and press Enter.
    3. Press Windows key + R.
    4. To reregister the Windows Installer, type msiexec /regserver and press Enter.

    You may also check the following article on how to troubleshoot problems that may occur when you install, uninstall, or upgrade a program on Windows-based computer:

    .

    I also highly recommend that you contact ASUS support and ask them if they have other installer for your ASUS Smart Gesture driver since you have already tried downloading the driver from their website and performed a reset on your computer.

    Feel free to let us know how it goes.
