Windows 10: My scroll on touchpad, as well as the zoom-in on the touchpad stopped working after some...

Basically, title. Windows has been updating to the 1903 version , can that be related to those functions automatically disabling?

Touchpad Scrolling Not Working

Yes apparently Alps is instead of Synaptics for Sony.

I think you'll find a good driver for it here.

Keep us posted whether it solved your problem or not *Wink

(I just downloaded the Synaptic one for my laptop and discovered I have a scroll-wheel in the touchpad *Laugh :laugh

 

Touchpad scroll not working

I have an MSI GE620 laptop. After I upgraded to windows 10 (from win 7), the touchpad scroll, zoom etc stopped working. I tried downloading the driver from the manufacturer and installing it. I get a message - 'The driver version doesn't suit this touchpad.
Please check the device in the system and install the suitable driver.'. Also, the device manager says 'your device is up to date'.

How do I fix this so that the touchpad scroll starts working again?

 

Touchpad Scroll work in Firefox, Explorer but not in Store, Edge


Hi, try looking for and use an older version of the driver.
Then protect it from replacement by hiding the touchpad update (See the Tutorial section, search for hide).

For a number of people scrolling (one finger) and circular or chiral scrolling doesn't work in Win 10.

In my case scrolling with the touchpad wasn't working at all.
I've played with this in the last day, and found I needed to use an old version of the driver.
My touchpad is Synaptics: the latest driver provided by Windows is v19, from 2015.
I tried using a number of different drivers from different sources- some wouldn't install, some behaved differently.
I found Synaptics v16-3-8 TP_Synaptics_W74W84_X06_A00_Setup-6F2PM_ZPE (actually a DELL Alienware driver) works best.

I now have 1 finger scroll, flick, 2 finger scroll, pinch/zoom and circular scrolling all working. That includes Win10's Start menu and Edge (I don't use those but I just checked).

Searching the internet you may find various suggestions for modifying the registry and using different drivers. I've not needed to do the former.

There is a suggestion that MS ditched 1 finger scroll in favour of 1 finger swipe. I've no idea if that's true- the touchpad Settings seem to support functions that are not available if you use the latest drivers.
