Touchpad scroll gestures not working in windows 10

There is a possible solution posted by  Andrea Fortuna that may work. The downside is that it involves a registry edit. Make sure that you backup your current registry before attempting the fix.

Hello,

Even I am facing the scroll issue with Windows 10 on my HP laptop. Every time I need to select the scroll check box manually in the mouse settings. Any suggestions to resolve this issue?

This issue is happening with notebooks of multiple manufacturers across the board.

It is a topic trending in Microsoft Answers as well. 

Hopefully Synaptics, the Windows 10 team at Microsoft and the manufacturers of notebooks will work this out soon.

Simple Solution!

Uninstall existing driver from Control Panel. Follow instruction to restart.

Reinstall driver that worked before windows 10 upgrade. 

Open Synaptic Pointing Device via Control Panel, Device, Mouse and Touchpad.

Scroll down to Related Setting (additional mouse option)

This opens Mouse Properties. Click Device Setting, (settings).

Check scrolling (if already checked disregard). Tap checked scrolling lightly to show setting icon?

Click icon to open other option. Fill boxes as desired.

Close and apply changes as you exit. Follow instructions to restart. You are good.

Also the touchpad of my Envy 205nl 17inch as a lot of problem:

No more edge swipe

I cannot store the settings

Windows 10 doesn't recognize as precision touchpad

tried to disinstall and reinstall. still a lot of problems

Sorry for the cross-posting (I put this elsewhere in the HP forum), but want to ensure the fix is seen. Here's my previous post:

I had the same issue after upgrading my Sony Vaio laptop, and found this fix on line... all is now good now with my laptop.

Some installs included an incorrect driver. See this EETI Galax to insertr the correct driver. You may need to reboot to complete.

Hope this helps,

Paul

My HP G56 Notebook/Laptop with Synaptics TouchPad (LuxPad V7.4 on PS/2 Port) has developed a problem since upgrading from W7 Home Premium 64bit to W10 Home 64bit.

I can no longer scroll vertically with one finger despite the area showing up green in the scrolling area set-up window within the Snaptics menu.

I've just tried turning on two finger vertical scrolling and this works.

Any ideas how to get one finger scrolling back?

Hi, i upgraded my HP 620 from Win 7 (32bit) to Windows 10 and touchpad rolling didn't work in system windows. In web browsers and other SW it was working. 

Windows Update didn't offer any driver update, HP Support the same. But i downloaded manually last version 19.0.19.1.of driver from Synaptics web  http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php.  I installed this driver, but nothing had changed. Then i tried tu update driver to this device manually":

- in Properties / Driver dialog window click button "Driver update"

- choose "find driver in computer"  and  "choose driver from the list" 

- uncheck "show compatible hardware" box (necessary, otherwise new driver stays invisible!!)

- find and select "Synapctics SMBUs TouchPad"

- ignore warning that this driver maybe is not compatible to your HW

- finish and restart

worked for me. good luck 

note: maybe english version of Windows uses different words, tranlate from czech version by me. hope you understand

I saw this on another website thread. It worked for my HP Compaq laptop!!

[Solved] 1- Go to control panel and chose "Uninstall Programs" and Uninstall any "Synaptic" driver installed. 2-Download Synaptic V16 from "HERE"

That is a good find. +1 Kudo from me. I will be following that discussion as well as the one in Microsoft Answers community.

This issue is still trending and unsolved for some laptops of all brands across the manufacturers spectrum
