Windows 10: Touchpad settings issue

My touchpad allows me to single click and basic cursor motions only. All other functions are gone including gestures, 2 and 3 fingered. I cannot use settings to fix it because it offers me just "sensitivity"

:)

Precision touchpad issue on Win10 10586

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Some of the most common causes of these problems are:

• 
  The touchpad has been enabled or disabled. The touchpad might have been mistakenly enabled or disabled. The touchpad can be enabled or disabled in several ways, including using keyboard shortcuts (key combinations on the keyboard), using Device
  Manager, or by using the touchpad settings in Control Panel.
  
• 
  The touchpad settings might be set incorrectly. Most touchpads have adjustable settings and these settings can make the touchpad function improperly if set incorrectly.
  

The sensitivity of the touchpad is set too high. If the sensitivity is set to high on the touchpad, any slight touch can cause the cursor to randomly jump to another location of the screen. To resolve this issue, lower the sensitivity setting
of the touchpad using the touchpad settings.

To correct these issues, enable or disable the touchpad or adjust its settings. To do this, follow the steps for your version of Windows:

• Open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click
  Mouse.
• 
  Click the Touchpad tab, and then adjust the settings. On some PCs, the touchpad settings might be on the
  Buttons tab.
  

Hope this helps.
