  1. Unable To Use 3-Finger Gesture To Go Back And Forth In Browser After An Update.


    Apparently the new update has f***ed some things up, and now my three finger swipe to navigate forward and backwards in browser (alt + left/right) - that I have been using for literally years - instead swaps windows (alt + Tab).


    I can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere on how to get my gesture back!!!


    All the "solutions" I find say I need Precision Touchpad, which I thought I had. But I go to the settings and it shows as bog standard w/o the extra options to change any gesture settings!!! I was literally able to swipe back and forth just fine a mere DAYS AGO!!!


    Can someone please help?!?!


    ***Moved From: Windows 10/Windows settings***

    ***Changed Original Title From: How in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks am I supposed to get my swipe gestures back??? This should be SIMPLE!!!! [HELP]***

    :)

  2. April 2019 update - 3 fingers swiping gesture problem

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to use the three fingers swiping feature not working after updating the version of Windows. We will need some clarity on this issue to guide you accordingly. Hence, kindly respond to the questions
    below.



    1. What is the make and model of the PC?
    2. Which touchpad driver is installed on the PC?


    I would suggest you to check the gesture settings in the touchpad settings. Follow the steps to check for the gesture settings.



    1. Open Settings > Devices > Mouse.
    1. Now on the right hand side click on
      Additional mouse settings.
    2. Select the Device settings tab and click on
      Settings.


    We await your response.



    Regards,

    3-Finger gestures unable to work

    Hey all,

    I have a HP ENVY Ultrabook 4-1030us. When the Windows 10 update came for me, I immediately upgraded from Windows 7, and with the upgrade I was able to use the nice gestures such as the 3-finger swipes for opening and closing Task View as well as switching
    between open apps. Shortly after the upgrading my harddrive crashed. I brought the laptop to a shop and they replaced the harddrive as well as installing a fresh version of Windows 10 for me. However, now, although other gestures such as the 2-finger scrolling
    still work, the 3-finger gestures only seem to work for swiping left/right to either go forward or back in my browser. They no longer bring up/close Task View and switch apps. I've tried upgrading my touchpad driver from the Synaptics website and the problem
    is still not solved. Is there any way to get back this functionality? I switch between my apps a lot and the touchpad feature would be really great. Thanks for any help!

    Windows 10 Three finger Gesture

    Hi,

    I currently have a similar issue - installed Windows 10 on Lenovo Yoga 2, 3 finger gestures worked fine (up for task manager, down for desktop) then today Windows seemed to do some background updates, and the 3 finger gestures have now reverted back to Windows
    8.1 gestures - i.e. 3 fingers to go forward/back in browsing windows...any suggestions?

    Thanks
