Windows 10: Touch pad Driver update.

The new widows 10 update put in a driver that won't let me turn off my Touchpad. Had to reinstall my old driver. Do you think they will fix this. Don't know if old driver had a security problem.

Windows 10 Lost Touch Pad Driver in Device Manager.

I uninstalled the drive ( via device manager) for the extra Ps/2 mouse driver listed> restarted and the Touch pad is now listed. Then tried to update. No results.

Went to settings> advanced touch pad settings> the soft wear shown is for a mouse not a touch pad. Tried to update HP software for my computer> identified and checked> claimed software is up to date. May try to see if it work as incompatible software. I
checked to see if software is on synopsis website. Software is shown for a touch pad but which one?

 

Windows 10 Lost Touch Pad Driver in Device Manager.

Success! Device Manager>Update Driver>Manually update driver>Find Synopsis Touch pad driver ( found 3 listed were the same> install driver.

This worked but I lost the ability to disable touch pad when a mouse is connected. No check mark. Must be another driver. This 'disable' only worked for one secession. Good try to upgrade THIS driver on line.
