Drivers/Hardware :: Touchpad Scroll Work In Firefox / Explorer But Not In Store / Edge?
Aug 13, 2015
Lenovo Thinkpad R500 - Touchpad scroll works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, File Explorer, Device manager and some other places, but it does not work in Start menu or any menu under Control panel, Edge or Windows Store - no matter what I have tried it simply will not Scroll - There is no doubt this a BUG.
I'm guessing it a bug in windows registry, but don't know where to find it. I have been through most that has to do with ALPS. Where the registry settings for the MS software scroll option are.
Touchpad/Trackpoint: ALPS UltraNav 2 - I have the newest driver from lenovo an ALPS don't have driver download available. But can't see how its a driver issue when it works in Device manager and the other places.
I tried getting MS support engineers at MS forum, to take a look at it, but they have this attitude that its driver issue and not Windows bug. Besides that, they never read the question before dishing out some standard solution like "try going to safe mode to see if the problem persist" - That is not going to work, since the drivers that control the scroll will not load in safe mode and then scroll will not work at all, a "real" technician would know that.
Scrolling right now in Firefox - If i go to Edge or Store, its not working.
I just upgraded my windows 7 original install on my Toshiba Laptop (3 years old) to the Windows 10 Home Preview Build (10130 was installed). Everything appears to be working EXCEPT my touchpad will not scroll. It is a Synaptics V7.5 on PS-2 port. I went to the Synaptics website and don't see a windows 10 driver for this...How can i get the scrolling to work on the touchpad (everything else seems to be working on the pad)..
My laptop touchpad scrolling stopped working this morning after I updated my gpu driver. I went to the packard bell website and looked at the touchpad drivers for my laptop. There is a synaptics one and a elan one.
I have them both installed on my laptop but it still isn't working and there is still no virtual scrolling option in synaptics. These are the options that I have in the synaptics settings:
This is what it should look like:
What do I have to do to get the scroll trackpad feature to work again? P.S, when in device manager, even though there is an ELAN tab in mouse properties, Only the synaptics driver shows up under the mice section in device manager. Does this mean that the synaptics driver is replacing the ELAN and I need them both for the scroll to work.
I just upgraded to Windows 10 and have discovered a problem that I can't seem to fix. When I Right-click on my Touchpad, nothing happens. This was very useful when I need to fix a word spelling & get options for the misspelled word.
Just downloaded windows 10 update and my touchpad can move but cannot use any gestures which is a massive pain consider I can no longer scroll using two fingers. Why and how I can repair this functionality?
Just plugged an old ps2 trackball mouse into my laptop running win 10 64bit, and the scroll wheel won't work. Default MS driver shows no options for scroll. It's some old HP POS. CP-15K. Didn't think it would be so hard to find a ps2 mouse (with scroll wheel) driver.
After I upgraded my Samsung laptop from Win 8.1 to Win 10, Chrome and Firefox have stopped working. Only the browser EDGE bundled with Win 10 is working.
Every time i go to rename a folder in explorer it keeps jumping to the top. I researched thru google and someone mentioned to go to Personalization, Color then choose Automatic pick an accent color from my background and turn off, so far thats working.
When I try to move files from one folder to another the left scroll bar snaps to either the top or the bottom almost every time I move a file. This is making trying to organize my files extremely frustrating. This issue was addressed on another online forum so I know it's not just me that this is happening to. In that forum it was suggested to turn off the screensaver slideshow & that worked for some people; however, all I'm using is a plain black screen.
I'd like to try Edge, but Edge won't even see Firefox as one of my installed browsers even though it is my default browser. I'm not going to use a browser that requires me to enter hundreds of sites one at a time. Any way to import FF favorites since it won't import html?
I upgraded to Windows 10! When ever I try to just simply search something in Google Chrome is search's for a minute then gives me the error WEBSITE UNAVAILABLE ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I couldn't even search up what that meant! I only got here because it was a favorites tab.
Same thing happens on Firefox too, takes an hour to load up what I searched and gives me an error, tried Microsoft Edge and it also wouldn't load any search results. I looked around on my phone but no one really has this problem. It can't be my Wi-Fi because it is fine on every other device. What could it possibly be? I can't uninstall Chrome because how would I get it back if nothing else works?!
Things I have tried: unchecking compatibility mode checking use hardware acceleration (in chrome settings) unchecking use hardware acceleration running as admin clearing all history and cache (in both browsers) running ccleaner for both browsers trying a different network restarting my computer all have not worked
I read through the forum and used the instructions given using an external mouse to sort he touchpad issue out. But my clickers won't work. It's a Toshiba satellite C50D-B-120 laptop and prior to his I had windows 8.1.
I recently dual-booted my Windows 8 notebook with Windows 10. But the touchpad and keyboard won't work even after installing the appropriate drivers. This problem did happened before this in Windows 8 but solved by using Windows Update.My notebook is an Aspire E5-411-C4TN. I even downloaded Elan and Synaptics driver from Acer. Tried Googled around, found nothing...
I'm running Windows 10 on a 12" Retina MacBook and so far it's been great, no issues, couldn't be happier.But starting this week I've been having problems with right click menu's and dropdown menu's in programs like Firefox (bookmark dropdowns), Dropbox (right clicking), and in other spots throughout the operating system.
I updated to 10 and fount that the slider bars on the touch pad don't work. The system doesn't have a mouse which it knows and shows a touch pad there and working but the sliders do not work.
We just updated our laptop to windows 10. The browsers edge/chrome/firefox hang up when tried to type in address bar or search window. mouse click works, but try typing and the browsers freeze, In Internet explorer typing in address bar works but cannot type in search box like google or any email login page like gmail, yahoo. Update went fine. Our PC does not have touch screen
Suddenly when I turned on my machine, the left click button on touchpad will no longer work,right click works fine but no left click. This is also true for the touch screen. If I touch the window icon to open the menu, it changes color but does nothing. Things I tried:
1-Connected an external mouse and it also doesn't work with left click. 2-I tried a restore point from last week to see if that solved the problem. Still the same.
What I did to disable the left click button. Could have been caused by a windows update?
I bought a new asus transformer flip book and have just installed Windows 10 and my touchpad doesnt work correctly. When i click on something it doesnt react at all.
I am getting my 3 year old Dell Vostro V131 laptop up and running. I bought Windows 10, installed it and configured everything without too much of a problem - except for this little issue.
Just as the OS installed, the touchpad just allowed me to move the cursor and tap to click - not much of a surprise, as it ran on stock Windows drivers. I got the touchpad drivers for my laptop model from Dell's site (was labeled as a Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 driver, but there was none for 10, so I just used that). The scroll and zoom gestures worked fine in file explorer, MS Office, Skype, Spotify, Chrome, control panel and desktop. However, there is no reaction from Edge, modern/metro apps (like settings, weather) and the start menu!
I'm pretty much stuck right now. Here are the things I tried:
1. Configuring the touchpad in Windows settings - not possible, as the OS doesn't classify my touchpad as a "precision touchpad", and therefore doesn't allow to configure any gestures.
2. Installing a driver from Synaptics' website (obviously with the Dell one uninstalled) - doable, but it doesn't change anything at all; the touchpad is still listed as "PS/2 pointing device" in the device manager, no gestures are available, no driver is listed in "Programs and features", and no icon is to be seen in the app tray.
3. Same as 2, but first uninstalling the generic driver via device manager - not effective, as the driver uninstall requires a restart, and after the restart Windows installs the generic driver back.
What I thought about: This is obviously Microsoft's fault, as only their new, Windows-10-modern-interface-touch-controllable-minimalistic-cool-looking software faces this issue. Could I, by any chance, fool Windows 10 into thinking i have a "precision touchpad"? Registry editing comes to my mind, but I have no clue how to find such an entry if it exists.
