Windows 10: Touchpad does not work when put two fingers on it.

I am used to Macbook touchpad which is very nicely configured, but on windows when i am selecting multiple items, i keep one finger at bottom to select and one finger to move the cursor, but as i put my finger at bottom of trackpad to select items, the touchpad stops working untill i move both fingers and do it again. Its very annoying also because we cannot install any software which in older version have offered many controls.

Thanks. This procedure worked. Though, as noted in the conversation below, the current driver 4021 does not work with my configuration. I had a copy of 405 so I used that for the re-install and now touchpad is working again.

Something must have thrown it off so that I needed a re-install but the latest driver doesn't work.

Thanks again.
