  1. Synaptics Touchpad Reverse Scroll


    Hi,

    After the recent update my Synaptics Touchpad on my HP Laptop has reverted back to factory setting scroll. I changed the settings to enable the two finger scroll to reverse and now I cannot change the settings to my choice. There is nowhere in settings to enable me to do this. There is nowhere in the I have searched on the web but nothing helps. Can you assist please?

    :)

    Synaptics touchpad reverse scroll reverts on restart


    FIXED ! Went to HP and downloaded latest version specific to my model (sp71867 not sp72120), ran it. Same symptoms as in post 2. Went to device manager, R click Synaptics, hit 'update driver', let me choose. Seems Windows Update was installing Synaptic Port Touchpad which enables setting up profiles and 3 finger press to open Cortana and overrides HP software at startup. Chose Synaptics Port Compatible Touchpad. After install, back to familiar windows with videos (instead of 'x') where I could configure 3 finger press, too, to open firefox instead of IE. Even had scroll direction in same direction as finger motion so no need to un-check reverse scrolling. See screens below

    selected driver will install and prompt reboot. System Tray icon loads, unlike before, offering easy access to settings until I'm happy and also fixed problem of no icon description when mouse hovered over any icon (like Vol). Ran Windows Update. NO device drive updates found, no reg or gp edit need. DONE !

  3. Synaptic touchpad scroll direction not consistently reversed in Windows 10

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 and am having issues with the Synaptic touch pad.

    By default, two-finger swiping on the touchpad scrolled like a Mac (i.e. the scroll bars move against the direction your fingers move in). That's the opposite of what I like, so I went into the Synaptics ClickPad Settings (via the icon in the tray), and into the Two-Finger Scrolling properties (the properties button "conveniently" doesn't appear until you focus the row), and unticked the "Enable reverse scrolling direction" option.

    This worked, except for two problems:

    1. Whenever I restart, the setting reverts. It's not being saved properly.
    2. In the start menu, and other metro-windows-8-tablet-tile-thingy-style places, it still scrolls in the wrong direction! (But things in desktop-land are fine.)

    Any suggestions? Registry keys to tweak? Updates to install?

    The machine in question is an HP Spectre x360, if that happens to matter.
