Windows 10: Right click only works with bottom left corner of touchpad

Hi, I upgraded to windows eleven recently and I found I could only right click with the bottom left corner of the touchpad The right click on the touchpad just left clicks . I dug around in settings, and found this: but turning it off just means I can only right click with a double finger tap. I'm really confused.also Im putting this question in the devices and drivers category, because the answer will probably have something to do with that

Touchpad Left- and Right-Click Not Working

Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



Please answer the following question:

Did you log in to the system using a standard user account or an administrator user account?

In order to make changes in Device Manager you MUST be logged on as an administrator.

After logging in to the administrator Account, I would suggest you first try updating the driver.

Follow the steps to update the Touchpad drivers:

• 
  Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
  
• 
  Find the relevant Touchpad driver and right click on it.
  
• 
  Select Properties and then go to the Driver Tab. Click Update.
  
• 
  Restart the computer and check.
  

If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to uninstall and then reinstall your driver in compatibility mode.

• 
  Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
  
• 
  Find the relevant Touchpad driver and right click on it.
  
• 
  Select Properties and then go to the Driver Tab. Click Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the computer and check.
  

Now go to your manufacturer's website and re install the driver in compatibility mode.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Regards,

Touchpad Left- and Right-Click Not Working

After installing Windows 10 in a Toshiba laptop which had been running Windows 8.1, there is a cursor but the left- and right-click functions of the synaptic touchpad do not work. I have searched through the hardware and accessibility settings and all
appear correct. I have looked at uninstalling/reinstalling the touchpad driver in accessibility settings, but it is greyed out. Any suggestions on fixing this issue?
