Windows 10: elan touchpad driver update

Did you go into device manager and uninstall the driver and check the box to delete all files on this PC - this will stop it from reappearing and works after you make the changes with the Microsoft tool - don't forget to reboot the PC after uninstalling the driver in device manager then go to windows update and check for updates - it should be gone for good.
This is what mine looks like in device manager now with only the basic driver left because I don't use the touch pad, and it works fine, but I had to uninstall a couple of drivers:

 

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.

 

Congratulations, and this maybe of help for those who have been waiting desperately for a decent driver.

 

I had problems, no scroll and no right button with 2 fingers touch, on my Asus T300LA after upgrading to Windows 10 and AUS smart gesture 4.0.5 and 4.0.6. I fixed the problem installing the ASUS windows 8.1 Smart gesture, version 2.2.8. Unfortunately over time Windows 10 automatically upgrades to the wrong one: 4.0.6. I have to find a way to disable automatic upgrade.

 

Have a look at my 2 replies and try the Microsoft wushowhide tool there are also tutorials on this site different to this which may help if you have problems - Windows 10 Tutorials - Go to Hardware & Devices.

 

Thanks, I did it.*Smile

 

just seen this thread, actually via google. I too have no touchpad in win 10 on my laptop, I have to use a mouse. Elan is loaded up by windows and it does not work. I have read through the posts but did not see how to make the damn thing work again. I have been trying for weeks to get asus smart gesture to load in but it refuses, stating missing files. I have also emailed ASUS and, so far, no reply.

Is there a definitive fix?

 

solved.

went to the attached url and found instructions. It didnt work at first and it took out my keyboard drivers (asus laptop X553M). So I went back to site and downloaded the earlier version (all 64) and installed it correctly, you will maybe get error messages which is files in use but click continue and install completed then reboot. Then keyboard is back. Then go back to site and download and install the latest version again and it works and my touchpad is working for the first time in 10.

It's not the driver that drives you nuts, it's a setting in the Elantech software... Windows 10 installs the Elantech software automatically and it's easy to configure:

• Open ETDAniConf.exe (in C://program files/Elantech)
• de-select the vertical/horizontal scrolling tick boxes on the multi-finger tab
• Select and enable (vertical/horizontal) edge-scrolling on the one-finger tab

Done - You can now spare your middle finger the hard work.

 

That file doesnìt exist in my Windows 10 (x64) folders. There is one named AsusTPConfigure64.exe that allows you to make modifications, but it doesn't solve the issue.

 

Then try downloading and installing the Elantech software to see if that fixes your issue. I would uninstall the Asus-software first, then install the Elantech one and try it out. According to my installed software overview, I have:
"ETDware X64 15.7.0.1 whql" installed. I tried googling it, but can't find a download link for that version, let alone any version 15.x. I found the following one you can give a try though: http://www.driverscape.com/files/not..._11.7.13.2.zip

It's about the same size (+/-80Mb) and looks like it's the full suite as well. Let me know if that helped *Wink

 

I've downloaded this but it's a Notepad document with just code and it's a zip file?? It's not an executable file. Also I don't have anything showing in the device manager related to the touch pad so nothing to uninstall

 

Did you go to the link (which they have now updated with new drivers for win 10) (see my first post)

 

I own an Asus Notebook X202E. After upgrading to Windows 10 the left and right touchpad button did not work anymore. All the smart gestures worked just fine. The solution of the helpdesk of Asus was: roll back Windows to version 8 since we are not updating the drivers?!?
After searching for updated drivers on the internet I found them on: the Asus website... I deleted and then installed the ATK package and the Asus Smart Gesture driver. Nothing changed... I then deleted the Elan software from Configuration Screen - delete software. Et voila, the left and right touchpad button worked again. But all the smart gestures are gone and via Devices - Mouse not accessible also. The whole tab for configuring the touchpad is gone. Any body got a solution?

 

Vayana, thanks for this. It was driving me mad on the wife's laptop, the pointer would only release slowly from clicking to drag the scroll bar or move windows around. I didn't know Elantech was on there but thanks to your post identified the driver, found the software and the 'release immediately' option for the pointer. So your post is still helping people out 6 months on. Couldn't PM you as this is my first post, hope the mods don't mind this old thread getting bumped. Cheers!
