    touchpad functionality beyond moving cursor has ceased


    running a dell inspiron 15r 5537, on windows 10touchpad is no longer capable of anything except moving the cursor; e.g. two-finger scrolling, two-fingered right-click, gestures, all these and possibly more have stopped working.scrolling anything is now restricted to the arrow buttons or, when arrow buttons already have a different function for common!, moving the cursor to the scroll bar and manually moving it up and down.drivers have been updated and also removed/reinstalled, but haven't fixed the issue.someone please help? this is very frustrating

    :)

    How to prevent the mouse cursor from moving up/down when scrolling on touchpad

    Before Windows 10, when I swipe up/down on touchpad, the mouse cursor stays at one location. However, it now becomes a little dot and also moves up and down while I'm swiping on touchpad. I don't like this feature for three reasons:

    • It's not a universal behavior in that it only takes place in UWP applications but not in traditional Windows applications
    • When there are both UWP and traditional applications, and if the mouse cursor (the little dot) moves to the boundary of the two kinds of applications, it's shape becomes inconsistent and variant (I doubt there might be a bug or glitch)
    • It's often very hard to find the mouse cursor on screen once it becomes a little dot -- it disappears, and when one moves the mouse, it just jumps out from nowhere. It's kind of beyond expectations and annoying for one who only wishes to work on computers.
    So is there any settings that disable this features? I've found in the mouse and touchpad section with no luck. Thanks!

    Mouse Cursor Moving Spontaneously

    Hey All,

    I have an MSI GE72 2QD Apache Pro laptop with Windows 10 64-Bit OS. I use a wireless Logitech M510 mouse.

    My problem is that my mouse cursor will move spontaneously at different times and start randomly clicking on things. Super annoying.

    Things I have done to try to revert the issue:

    • Made sure my drivers for both the touchpad and wireless mouse were fully updated.
    • Rolled-back the drivers to see if that would fix the problem.
    • Completely uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled them.
    • Disabled the touchpad, which does work, but I don't want to keep it this way.
    Since disabling the touchpad is the only thing that seems to work, I am thinking it has something to do with that.

    Any suggestions or tips that might resolve this issue?

    Thanks in advance.
