Reverse scrolling - Windows 10

[Stanly96]

How do I turn of reverse scrolling on the touchpad? I don't see an option to change scroll directions in the touchpad settings. I have tried the option: Devices>Touchpad>Additional Settings, but then there is no synaptics tab whatsoever, so I am unable to change it. Besides, I tried to figure it out in the device manager option, but again no option there to change it. Is anyone able to help me out?

Hi @Stanly96

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Appreciate you trying the steps. Let's try these steps to re-install the touchpad driver - 

1) Right click on the start or Windows icon and open the "Device Manager".
2) Expand the "Mice and other pointing devices".
3) Right click TouchPad and then click on uninstall and restart the computer. 
 

Download and install the touchpad driver from this link. 

To access the reverse scrolling option - 

In the search box, type and open "Reverse the touchpad's scrolling direction" - 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Those steps worked for me. After re-installing the Touchpad driver I was able to change the reverse scrolling settings in the Synaptics Clickpad Properties. Before the re-install those options were never visible. Big thanks!
