Windows 10: Error on installing Synaptics Touchpad Control Panel from Microsoft Store

Before the driver update of the Synaptics SMBus Touchpad driver to version 19.5.35.47, it used to be possible to adjust scrolling settings etc. through a ClickPad Settings tab see image.





Since the update, Windows is endlessly trying to install an app from the Microsoft Store called Synaptics Touchpad Control Panel.

Upon installation, however, this gives an errorcode 0x803FB005, which seems to be a widespread problem.





The driver update made functions as chiral scrolling impossible, which is a huge setback in the user-friendliness of the touchpad.


Has anyone else encountered this problem and managed to find a way to work around it?

Where has my synaptics touchpad control panel disappeared?

Synaptics smbus touch pad on HP Pavilion laptop running windows 10 x64 update 1903

When the laptop was purchased it had windows 10 1709. the synaptic touchpad driver was the most recent and there was a control panel applet to change the settings of the touchpad.

Then came the feature update to 1903 accepted by me followed by a windows update of the synaptics driver. This resulted in the synaptics control panel software being deleted from control panel as well
as the additional tab on the mouse applet

How can i get the touchpad control panel active again?

I was recommended to download a synaptics app from Microsoft store but i get an error downloading (only this) app

I have no problem with the driver and even the various default gestures function but I cannot access the touchpad control panel to make changes for my convenience

Thank you for any help on this issue
