Windows 10: Cannot reverse the scrolling or remove tap-to-click after Microsoft Update

I am currently using an HP Pavilion running Windows 10. I just installed some updates last week and found out that my scrolling is reversed to how I would like it, and tap to click is on, which I utterly despise. But there is no option to change these settings; I have looked everywhere.

Will Microsoft be rolling out another update to fix this? This is a huge bummer for me; yes, it may be just scrolling and tapping, but I hate these features. Tap to click is frustrating in that I always seem to be clicking something I don't want.


Thanks.

Left and right reverse scrolling

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Touchpad settings can be customized depending on your preference.
Here are few things that you can try:

Method 1: Try changing the settings.

1. Open Settings.
   
2. Then click on Devices.
   
3. Then click on Touchpad.
   
4. Then click on Advance Settings.
   
5. Then go to Device settings and click on
   Settings.
   
6. Expand the Virtual Scrolling and then click on
   Defaults.
   
7. This should restore the touchpad settings to default.
   

Method 2: Please follow the suggestions provided by Louie Del in the thread:
Reverse the scroll of mouse.

I would also request you to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager and then reboot the device to see if that restores the Touchpad settings.

Regards,

 

Reversing the scrolling on the touchpad

Hello Greg

I did all that already.

Look like Microsoft have removed the the "the reverse scrolling" option from there settings.

 

Reverse scrolling


Windows updated this morning and now the touchpad is scrolling in reverse. I have an ASUS and have gone into the ASUS Smart Gesture settings but whether "content moves reversely" is checked or unchecked, it has no effect on which direction the touchpad scrolls. I restarted but same thing.
