Windows 10: ELAN touchpad driver acting up

A little while ago, i tried to fix an issue where i couldn't use my touchpad while typing a key. A friend told me to install windows precision drivers from lenovo's website, but they didn't work so I went back to the default. The next time I restarted my computer, my touchpads right click as well as any gestures didn't work. Also whenever I type something, my cursor stops responding to my touchpad until I press control or the windows key. I tried uninstalling the driver and getting it again on lenovo's website without any progress so what's the issue?

ELAN Driver for touchpad -Windows 10

After upgrading to Windows 10 my ELAN touchpad driver has all but disappeared. This means I cannot remove tap to click feature amongst others. Can anybody suggest a way forward ?

 

ELAN Driver for touchpad -Windows 10

Having just upgraded my 5+ yr. old Samsung laptop, at the 11th hour, from W7 to W10, I too experienced an erratic and non-responsive Elan touchpad -- cursor jumping to corners and edges of screen every time the touchpad was touched, with unavailable tapping
or buttons. It was useless.

Driver update wasn't applicable as I had the latest driver; roll back made the touchpad completely unresponsive and unusable; so with trial and error I found with the following steps I was able to revert my touchpad to it's former functionality (apart from
scrolling):

Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Device & Printers > Mouse

On the Mouse Properties box, select Hardware tab, check that Elan PS/2 is highlighted if using an external mouse, then click Properties, followed by Change Settings on the next box.

Select Driver tab, then click Update Driver and choose 'Browse my computer for driver software'. Now select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.

Click on 'Elan PS/2 Port Smart-Pad' For me this was the third one down (from 4) after two input device versions (current and roll back).Click the Next box and that should do the trick, although restart is required.

 

elan touchpad driver update

I recent came across this issue with my parents laptop.

Windows insisted the device was an ELAN touch pad (which it is), but would install ELAN Touchpad 15.8.4.3_X64_WHQL.

However, I visited the ASUS website, and found the latest Touch Pad drivers for Windows 10 (ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Driver & Tools - R510CA
), which was ASUS Smart Gesture (For Windows 10 Upgrade / Touchpad Driver) V4.0.5. I had to uninstall the previous driver first, then installed this one, and it worked. It actually installed the device as an ASUS Touchpad instead of the previous ELAN device.

I've performed several reboots and Windows update checks, and while the ELAN tab still appears on the Mouse Properties screen, all options are disabled because there are no active devices using it.
