Windows 10: Trackpad Issues (Windows 10, Synaptics)

Hello all,

Ive got some troubles with my new laptop which I cant seem to solve.

For some reason I cant type and click at the same time, like when I use the WASD keys and use the trackpad clicker simultaneously in games. (NOTE, this is the case when browsing or whatever as well)
The issue presides when I've got my external mouse plugged in and using that, but I was really looking foward to doing some casual gaming when im travelling and what not, and would rather not use an external mouse, but right now its more or less impossible. After trying tons of stuff out I figured out a quick solution to this problem, by constantly holding down the left CTRL button, but this is of course super uncomfortable and just making me even more frustrated that I cant just find a fix for it all together.

Spent a good couple of hours trying to figure it out with loads of google searches but none of the suggested solutions work (the most common tip being to disable the 'Palm Check Threshold' option in the Advanced tab in the Synpatics Control Panel, which does absolutely nothing) and trying to find the 'Click Delay' options which apparently is nowhere to be found in the current version of Windows 10 (sigh)

Has anyone els had these issues and know what the fix is for synaptics and windows 10?

And yes before you ask I've tried reinstallating several drivers, both current and past, but this particular thing does not change.

Hope someone could help me out

Windows Update Keep Installing Synaptics Driver on my Non-Synaptics Dell XPS 15z

Hi all,

So for some reason, Windows Update keeps automatically installing the Synaptics trackpad driver on my old Dell XPS 15z that's running Windows 10 Pro even though the laptop has a Cypress trackpad and the driver for it is already installed. The Synaptics driver
breaks the multi-finger gestures and functionalities of the trackpad. I tried manually just uninstalling the driver but Windows Update just automatically reinstalls it at a later point. How do I override Windows Update for this?

Trackpad not working and disappeared from Device Manager

Actually, now the problem has happened again. No trackpad, no mouse arrow!

I closed the computer screen and the PC went into sleep mode, and when I reactivated it... the same issue!

Synaptic (the Lenovo trackpad software) is installed, but no mouse. I tried to reinstall it, restarted the computer, but nothing!

Please help!
