Windows 10: Change advanced touchpad gestures on a desktop computer that does not have a touchpad connected

Hello,I am looking for a way to change the default gestures on a computer that does not have a touchpad directly connected, but to which I connect to from a laptop using remote desktop connection.I have changed the three-finger tap on my laptop to trigger a middle-mouse click, and would like some way of transferring that action to this separate remote desktop connected computer.Thanks in advance.

Touchpad gestures

Hello, Does your touchpad work except for gestures ?

I suggest you install the touchpad driver from your PC manufacturer.

 

My touchpad gestures have suddenly changed

The SFC scan found errors and fixed them succesfully. After a reboot the gestures worked again (3 up: task, 3 down: desktop). But, this is always the case when I reboot.

After entering into sleep mode, the gestures have changed again (3up: open search, 3 down: open settings app) even though the Dell touchpad settings lists the correct gestures.

I've already updated to the latest Dell BIOS, Video drivers and Touchpad drivers (Dell forums). The issues stays the same though. The touchpad gestures aren't working as they should after leaving sleep mode.

Can you help me out?
