  1. Really odd problem with synaptics touchpad buttons (W10 Home, Yoga)


    Hi all

    I'll try to be brief. My Son has a Lenovo Yoga 500 with a Synaptics Touchpad. I have an Administrator account on the machine, he has a standard user. Windows 10 Home.

    The particular model of touchpad we have can be pushed down on **anywhere** to affect a "Left-Click"... except the bottom right hand corner which is taken as a "Right Click".

    For me, logged into my account, this works fine.

    For him, it doesn't work AT ALL. There ees-a no clicks. So - we have to go into the "Mouse" control panel, and select the Synaptics tab, and enable "tap-to-click". There is no setting anywhere that I can find to enable or disable the buttons. If I right-click (using a mouse) on the Touchpad System Tray icon, I get to choose to enable or disable "tapping"... it's currently ticked. If I try to untick it, it tells me off because I have to have either tapping or buttons enabled.

    HOW do I enable the buttons please? And why is it OK on my account? BTW - I made him an administrator and it's had zero effect on the problem.

    :)

  2. Two-finger scrolling and right not working with Windows 10

    Had the same problem on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, that's what helped. Removed Synaptics drivers and software, restarted computer, downloaded

    older vesion
    of Synaptics drivers (last version did not install due to some error), then went to touchpad settings and pressed "Update drivers" button. Windows downloaded and installed last drivers automatically and now scrolling works as it should.

    TouchPad on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro not working after Windows 10 update

    My touchpad on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro isn't working either. The two-finger scroll worked at odd times and most often the pointer just freezes. I've realized it's because my synaptic drive is still on version 8, but I couldn't find a download/upgrade that fit
    my laptop. This is really annoying...I wonder when someone can fix this issue....

    Really odd problem with synaptics touchpad buttons (W10 Home, Yoga)

    I have Lenovo with Synaptics driver (the drivers for Yoga actually although I have X201) and have all these running if I look in Task Manager:

    You should check here also:

    I'd suggest to re-install the driver under his account and make sure the start-up item is there and afterwards the 5 or so processes are running.

    I'd mention though that it should not be a matter of being administrator account - it works for my wife and she is not. It is worth a try though.

    If not post the driver version you are using and we will see. I'm using this one (from Lenovo site)

    I just installed 19.3.4.202 from here Synaptics ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit)

    Despite it being for completely the wrong model it works well (the old one froze a lot) and is dated Feb 2018.

    I've been struggling with drivers for my old Lenovo but it seems you can install pretty much anything.

    Yes, lx07, I had a similar experience recently with my Dell Venue Pro 11 7130. I installed the modded drivers to get gesture support and they worked just fine, despite being for a completely different touchpad model number. Go figure!
