Windows 10: Registry edit not working on a second windows account

Recently, I made edits in the Registry Editor so that I could use my keyboard at the same time as my touchpad HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Synaptics > SynTP > TouchPad > PalmDetectConfig and then changed the hexadecimal and decimal values to 0. This worked fine on the account I made the edits on; however, I had to make a new windows account on the same device for separate reasons aftermaking the edit on the first.

As far as my understanding goes, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE should make edits to the whole device and not be account specific, but on this second account, I can't use my touchpad and keyboard at the same time. I went into the registry again on the second account and found that the decimal and hexadecimal values are still 0.

Does anyone know how I can use my touchpad and keyboard at the same time on this second account a different way, or why the edit doesn't seem to work on this account?

Registry editing

Hello,

This issue may have occurred after one of the following situations:

• You upgrade the Windows operating system.
• You install or uninstall CD or DVD recording programs.
• You uninstall Microsoft Digital Image.

Given that, we suggest performing the methods in this article:

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
