Windows 10: Synaptics Driver Doesn't Work On Windows 10 Pro

My HP 450 G1 Laptop touchpad doesn't work after upgrading to Windows 10 Creator 4/2017.

I googled and attempted solutions with many times of uninstall/reinstall driver but it still doesn't work.
Here is images about Mouse Setting and Device Manager in my laptop:








There's no Synaptics tab in mouse settings nor Enable option for Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad in Device Manager.

I tried drivers from both HP site or Synaptics site but it cannot help. Moreover, my touchpad doesn't work in Bios mode.

I'm sure that my touchpad hardware still works well. It backed to work one time when I tried to fix this problem 2 weeks ago (don't remember how I fixed in this time). However it doesn't work in next reboot PC till now.
Now I just can use USB mouse only.

Please help me in this case, thanks.

Touchpad's buttons not working

I have installed the driver on Synaptics website, for windows 10. There were two drivers, one said PS/2 so I assumed it was that one as it said on my computer "Synaptics ClickPad V9.1 on PS/2 Port". I can use
the left click somewhat, but it is very inconsistent and 99 times out of 100 it doesn't work. Also, right click still doesn't work.

 

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.

 

One of my HP computers was worked on for a similar synaptics problem by a remote session. All common troubleshooting steps failed: Uninstall, reinstall, softpaq download manger, support assistant, manual install of the sp#, etc. The technician saw Ccleaner on my task bar and asked if he could run the registry cleaner. That failed too. At this time I had forgotten whether it was an in place upgrade or clean install that fixed the problem.

The in place upgrade is relatively easy and is worth a shot.
1) Create a bootable windows 10 iso: Download Windows 10
2) Power on the computer.
3) open files explorer and click on the USB drive
4) find setup or setup.exe
5) launch it and go through the custom upgrade repair menu

Thanks, I'll try but I reinstalled OS for my laptop already, still got the issue.

I also installed the latest Synaptic Driver for my laptop with
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers...Id/ob-193164-1

The issue is still the same. Device Manager shows that driver was installed successfully but Mouse Setting without Synaptic Tab.
Touchpad + Left/Right click doesn't work, just can use USB Mouse.
