I'd like to reverse the scrolling direction on my touchpad so that when I scroll up on the touchpad, the page also scrolls upward. I used to be able to do this by going to Settings --> Devices --> Touchpad --> Other related touchpad settings. Recently my laptop auto-updated, and now when I try to get to the touchpad settings, only the Mouse Properties shows up. I have no idea how to reverse the scrolling direction on my touchpad anymore. I tried to update the driver, I've also tried uninstalling / reinstalling the driver, but I can't get the Touchpad Properties to show up so I can change the scrolling direction. Help please?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Could you please share the screenshot of current "touchpad settings"?
Keep me posted for further assistance.

Here is the screenshot of what pops up when I click on "Additional Settings". The Mousepad Properties screen pops up, not the Touchpad Properties. I can't seem to access any of the touchpad settings. How do I get to the touchpad settings so I can reverse the scrolling direction?

Thank you for posting back.
Let's try this:
- Open Settings.
- Click on Devices.
- Click on Touchpad.
-
Under "Related settings," on the right side, click the Advanced gesture configuration link.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Thanks for your reply.
I followed your instructions (Settings --> Devices --> Touchpad), but under "Related Settings," there is no Advanced Gesture Configuration link. There is only "Additional Settings". When I click on "Additional Settings", the Mouse Properties screen pops up, just like I screenshotted.
I used to be able to get to Touchpad Properties by clicking on Additional Settings, but now Mouse Properties shows up. I can't get to Touchpad Properties.
