HP Recommended
Product: HP 15-f337 Notebook

My Synaptics touchpad click touch feature is turned off in settings.  I have used the registry editor to set the "DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade" value to 0 (zero) to ensure that my settings are saved on power down (Thank you to forum user DavidPK for telling me about this).  It works much of the time, but at inopportune times it will still "forget" my touchpad preferences and the touch click and finger gestures are re-enabled.  If I go through the registry edit procedure I can see that the "DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade" has been set to 1 (one) again!  So something is occassionally reseting my registry and clearing my touchpad preferences!

 

Is there any way to stop this Hp notebook from continuously changing my preferences and even my registry settings?  I'm not going to buy any more HP products.
