Windows 10: Right Click does't work on Touchpad (Synaptics)

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and have discovered a problem that I can't seem to fix. When I Right-click on my Touchpad, nothing happens. This was very useful when I need to fix a word spelling & get options for the misspelled word.

I have an HP Pavilion using Synaptics Touchpad.

Any ideas ???

:)

 

Disable two-finger tap to right click Windows 10

1. No, it doesnt have extra gestures. Normally, without Synaptic I cant even scroll with touchpad (not with two fingers or with one finger on the side) because Win 10 only installs some basic driver (and the mouse lags when using default driver, like if
mouse pointer was running at 15 frames per second).

2. Lower right corner does nothing.

3. Just found out that if I disable touch to left click in Synaptics, it also disables two finger touch to right click - but I dont want to click with hardware keys below my touchpad.

So again the question is - disabling two-finger touch to right click without disabling other stuff..

Also tried newer Synaptics driver that had option to disable/enable two-finger right click, but that version of Synaptics driver
shows in Synaptics settings my touchpad, but doesnt recognize for some reason that Im touching my touchpad or clicking hardware buttons at all, its like if touchpad worked on default driver (no scrolling etc...) but Synapticsdid recognize it.

 

Problem with Synaptics touchpad drivers on windows 10

Scrolling works intermittently. I have noticed that there seems a conflict between scrolling a right clicking with the Synaptics driver lately. If I have touchpad driver enabled I can scroll. But the right click will not work. But if it is disabled I
can cannot scroll, but the right click button will work.

 

Hi, do you mean the touch pad button (I presume you have one) or the double tap right click option?
And can you confirm the obvious, that rt click with a mouse works?

 

Yes, the TouchPad button ... there are 2 - a Left & a Right ... the LEFT one works fine. If I change the setting to use Right button as Primary, that works fine... But what I need back is the Left & Right working at same time. For the life of me I can't find a setting to control BOTH buttons. I don't have a Mouse, only the Touchpad ... and it was working just fine until this upgrade.

 

Ok, now that's clear. Thanks.
This is what I see via the control panel:



Can you see those or similar options?

 

Where are you getting to THAT Control Panel under Windows 10 ??? I don't see NAY of that under Mouse Properties in this new release.

 

OK, I found how to get to THAT Control Panel ... (not having a Right-Click button working, duh) ... But the Control anel for my Synaptics looks nothing like yours ... Mine is Synaptics Clickpad V7.5 ... and doesn't look anything like yours. ugh.

 

Hi, that's the driver I have- for my HP G60 214EM.
I upgraded from Win 8.1 Pro.
Did you ever have the options you need- before you upgraded?
I guess there's a chance you could use an older driver if that helped, but you would be better to check the option exists. Maybe try your laptop manufacturer's forum to check.

 

The clickpad has no physical buttons.. according to this.. and 'Configuring the left & right click regions' shows you should have suitable options

OK, I finally found the issue... There is a separate screen addrsssing "CLICKING" that I had improperly set the "2 finger" option. I actually disabled that because I never used it ... In doing so it turns OFF the ability to click on the Right button ... stupid ... and not very evident...

Thanks !!

Same exact issue. Driver update turned on the 2 finger option which made the right click stop working. Was driving me insane. Thanks.

 

I'm having a similar problem with the same touchpad. I can get a menu from a right click (left click is my primary click) but on a right click I can't get the pull down menu that allows me to rename, delete a file or the other options I am used to in windows. Any suggestions?

 

Interesting.
Another new "stuff" to learn.
