Windows 10: touch pad settings

Whenever my finger drifts towards the left side of the touchpad, possibly only the left top, it causes my app or browser that I'm working in to zoom in. I need to disable that but I can't find the setting for it.

Touch Pad Settings

I am using Windows 10 on a HP 15P045TX Laptop. It has a Synaptics SMBus Touch Pad. I have customized certain scrolling and touch settings. However, every time the PC is shut down and restarted, the touch pad gets restored to its default settings. Hence,
every time I turn on the PC, I have to load a saved Profile for my touch pad settings. Is it not possible that the touch pad would not automatically restore its default settings?
