Windows 10: Synaptics touchpad V1.2 - no option for one-finger scrolling?

Hello,

I recently bought a Lenovo Y700 running W10. I am trying to get it set up the way I like and cannot find an option to use one-finger scrolling with my touchpad (two-finger scrolling is an option and works just fine).

I am updated to driver 19.0.19.1, but for some reason when I go to Mouse Properties it lists the driver version as 19.0.17.26. I'm not sure if this is related. Here are some screen caps of the driver discrepancy as well as the UI for the mouse, which has no option for one-finger scrolling. How do I enable this?











Thanks for any advice you can give me!

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.

 

BSOD: KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE when waking up from sleep

Yesterday I uninstalled my touchpad driver (synaptics) and this seems to have solved the BSOD problem. However now the touchpad only works for moving the mouse and clicking. Scrolling with 2 fingers and 3 finger gestures don't work anymore. I already had
the latest synaptics driver installed so I can't install a newer one.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

 

I'm thinking that's on purpose. If you did that, how would you then move the cursor on screen? Single finger is cursor movement, two finger is scroll. It's a touch pad not a touch screen.

 

Er, well every Lenovo laptop I've ever owned uses 1-finger scroll along the right side of the touchpad...

Two finger scrolling really hurts my hand, for whatever reason. Hopefully someone will know how to get the 1 finger scroll back!

 

That only works if the touch pad has a dedicated scroll area down the side. As far as I know, new ones now don't, as they support gestures. The old ones didn't support gestures or any kind of two finger support. You'd have to install a really old driver, and I doubt even then that it would work.
