    How in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks am I supposed to get my swipe gestures back??? This...


    Apparently the new update has f***ed some things up, and now my three finger swipe to navigate forward and backwards in browser (alt + left/right) - that I have been using for literally years - instead swaps windows (alt + Tab).


    I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere on how to get my gesture back!!!


    All the "solutions" I find say I need Precision Touchpad, which I thought I had. But I go to the settings and it shows as bog standard w/o the extra options to change any gesture settings!!! I was literally able to swipe back and forth just fine a mere DAYS AGO!!!


    Can someone please help?!?!

    Swipe gestures

    Hi Patrick,

    Touchpad gestures in laptops are available as long as your computer has a precision touch pad. Many computer manufacturers add multi-gestures to the touchpad of their computers so that users can have more options. Since you're using Windows 10 on a Mac computer,
    kindly make sure your device has a precision touchpad. If you're using Windows 10 on your Mac computer, you can easily check if it has a precision touchpad by doing these steps:

    • Click the Windows logo (Start button).
    • Click the gear icon (Settings).
    • Select Devices.
    • On the left pane, choose Mouse & touchpad.
    • Check if you can see "Your PC has a precision touchpad" under Touchpad. If so, you will see different gesture options.

    If you cannot see "Your PC has a precision touchpad" under Touchpad, you can still check if your computer has multi-gesture options. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Windows logo (Settings), and then click Run.
    • In the Run textbox, type main.cpl.
    • If you can see an extra tab beside the Hardware tab, your computer has multi-gesture options. You can access that tab to see if you'll be able to remove the swipe gestures.

    If you have additional questions, kindly reply to this thread.

    Swipe gestures

    When I go to devices, all it shows it mouse. No touchpad. And when I try the 2nd option, there is nothing next to the hardware tab except for SetPoint(a Logitech thing)

    Swipe Gestures for Windows Phone Tango...

    I was hoping M$ implement more swipe gestures, such as double-finger swipe from top of the screen downwards to lock the screen rather than to just have a dedicated lock button...please, oh please..

    And to implement more user-friendly swipe gestures...even better than ifone....
