Windows 10: Synaptics Device Settings not shown in mouse properties

I've noticed that the Synaptics Device Settings are missing from my Touchpad settings. There are a number of settings in that category such as two finger scrolling and reverse scrolling. Driver is updated. How can I get the Synaptics Device Settings restored?


Thanks for any help!
