Windows 10: how do I stop windows 10 1903 from updating synaptics mouse driver

When I updated last time my synaptics mouse driver updated for windows 10 1903 and made it so that I couldn't disable the touch pad any longer. It would only allow me to change what the mouse did. I updated and then had to do a system restore to resolve the issue.



Right now, I can turn off the touch pad. But once I update again it won't let me do this. It just shows a picture of the mouse and how to change setting, it won't look like this anymore.



It will show a picture of the mouse, with keys highlighted etc...I paused to updates for 7 days so that I could try to get this resolved before updating again. When I resume the mouse update is still there. I did something that I found on here to stop mouse driver updates on HP laptops, it was something easy for me, not changing the directory. Unfortunately I can't find that older post I used.

Latest Synaptics Touchpad Driver for Windows 10


After updating from b. 10240 to 10586.3 ( W 10 x64), Windows installed an older version of Synaptics 19.0.15.2, before I had 19.0.19.1.
Also now, in Device Manager, it's listed under PS/2 Port touchpad, before it was SmBus.
Windows Update does no longer provide 19.0.19.1 driver, Why??
What are the recommended steps to get installed manually the latest Synaptics driver because with the currently installed driver, mouse scrolling does not work for Start menu - All apps, with 19.0.19.1 it used to work.
Also what is the name of the x64 .inf to use for update synSmbDrv.inf or SynPD.inf??
Thank you.

Latest Synaptics Touchpad Driver for Windows 10

I've had exactly the same issue on my Samsung Q330 laptop, with the initial W7>W10 upgrade, and again with the W10-1511 upgrade.

I assume you've downloaded and are using the latest Synaptics 19.0.19.1 driver update?

If so, what you need to do is this...

1. Go into Device Manager, select Mouse and click update drivers, then select the following.
   1. Browse My Computer
   2. Let me pick from a list
   3. Have disk button
   4. select the folder with the new Synaptics drivers (in my case it was ..\WinWDF\x86)
   5. select synSmbDrv.inf, and install
   6. Reboot, then you will find the additional touchpad options from <WinKey+I> Mouse
