  4. I can't use two-finger scrolling when multiple users login until the pc is restarted

    Cannot disable two finger scrolling

    OS: Windows 10 Pro (Build 17134.137)

    Touchpad driver: Synaptics Pointing Device from Lenovo (version 19.0.17.115, September 19, 2016)

    PC: Thinkpad W520

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Navigate to additional mouse options.

    1. Navigate to TouchPad Properties.

    1. Ensure that two finger scrolling is disabled.


    I can't use two-finger scrolling when multiple users login until the pc is restarted i5aq9.png


    As you can see from the last screenshot, two finger scrolling is disabled on my system, yet the touch-pad still begins to scroll when I have two fingers placed on it. It's jarring and irritating and I'm not used to it at all.

    Strangely enough, the setting seems to stick when I open UltraNav settings and close it. But two finger scrolling returns after a restart. I don't know if this is an issue with a driver or my configuration of Windows 10...

    I've tried the following:

    1. Rolling back the driver, which didn't resolve the issue.
    2. Deleting the driver and re-installing it via Windows update and from Lenovo's website. Also didn't resolve the issue.

    Does anyone have a permanent fix, like maybe a registry edit that completely disables all additional touch-pad gestures like this one?
