    Latest Windows 10 update broke all my older drivers


    Since the latest Windows 10 update all my older drivers have been forced to update and stopped working on my Laptop (Acer Aspire 5750G), specifically the touchpad functionality is completely gone.

    The older driver for the Elan touchpad has edge scroll (theres a little, physical, line on the touchpad itself on the right side) but the new W10 update forced a driver update (even though I hid it with the "Show/Hide Windows update troubleshooter") and now the edge scroll doesn't work anymore.

    Now when I try to go back to the previous, working, driver the driver just flat out doesn't work (The Icon for the Elan touchpad in the system tray has an "!" in a yellow triangle on it now) and Windows 10 never bothered to make a restore point so theres no way for me to go back to a previous working state.

    I uninstalled all previous drivers, used a driver for a different touchpad etc. but nothing seems to work.

    Would anyone know a solution to this issue?

    Creator's Update Broke A Lot Of My Drivers!

    So... I've been running Windows 10 on an older laptop for over a year with no problems.... Then came the Creator's Update...

    Now, I've lost:

    • Video Driver (GeForce Go 7400)
    • Network Controller Drivers (LAN & WLAN) (Intel PRO 100/1000 & Intel 3945ABG)
    • SATA & USB Controller Drivers (Intel ICH7 Family)
    • & Audio Drivers

    I can't roll back (clean install)...

    Windows says that it can't find any better drivers, that the best drivers are already installed. I tried to manually install the drivers (the same drivers that worked before the Creator's Update), but Windows won't accept them (not for this version of Windows).

    What is so different about the Creator's Update vs the Anniversary Update that all my drivers are now broke? And does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?

    Thanks in Advance!
