  1. Touchpad gestures not working after updates in Windows 10


    I use a Dell Latitude 3490 laptop. One day suddenly my touchpad gestures stopped working. Pointing was working, only the multi-finger gestures didn't. I looked up in device manager and found that one I2C HID Device was not working (it had a yellow exclamation mark on it). I tried disabling and enabling it, and it worked. This happened a few more times, after which disabling-enabling, or uninstalling-reinstalling did not work. I tried microsoft forum, and saw the same issue reported by many people. But none of the proposed solutions worked. Therefore I had to purchase a mouse!

    At this point, I changed my storage from HDD to SSD and I had to reinstall Windows 10 as part of it. After that, the touchpad gentures started working fine. Then I remembered that the problems had started after a Windows update. So I set my connection as 'metered' to avoid further issues. But seemingly, Windows update is an inescapable evil; and it never stops completely. After some random update, the gestures stopped again. I'm not good enough to spot which particular update had done this. Updates came now and then again, and then one day the touchpad stopped working altogether. This time I could fix the pointing function by uninstalling an update file. But my gestures are just a past memory. I travel a lot and now I'm forced to carry a mouse wherever I go.


    It's frustrating to see that Windows 10 is irritating its own customers by sending unwarranted updates that have damaging consequences. Can someone help me fix this?

  2. Touchpad gestures NOT working

    Hi Abuzar,

    Your touchpad drivers might be outdated or corrupted. I would suggest that you update the touchpad driver. Follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key and X together and select
      Device Manager.
    • Locate the touchpad driver.
    • Right-click on the touchpad driver icon and click Update Driver software.
    • Click on Search automatically for Updated driver software option.

    If the driver for Windows 10 is not available, download and reinstall the latest touchpad drivers from the manufacturer website.

    Keep us updated.

    4. Uninstall both the Touchpad driver and the Asus ATK package driver.
    5. Reboot
    6. First install ATKPackage driver (IMPORTANT to do this FIRST)
