How to install

Troubleshooting common issues

• Touchpad not detected: In BIOS/UEFI, ensure the internal pointing device is enabled. In Device Manager, show hidden devices and remove any grayed Synaptics entries, then reinstall.
• Gestures missing after install: Open Touchpad settings and enable three‑finger/two‑finger gestures. Check the Synaptics control panel if available.
• Driver signature errors on older Windows: Temporarily disable Driver Signature Enforcement, install, then re‑enable. Prefer WHQL packages when possible.
• Conflicts with OEM driver: If your laptop vendor offers its own package, uninstall it first, reboot, then install Synaptics TouchPad Driver. OEM customizations can override settings.
• Roll back needed: Device Manager → Touchpad → Driver tab → Roll Back Driver if the new version causes instability.
• Cursor lag or jumps: Disable palm rejection alternatives, remove third‑party mouse utilities, and update chipset drivers.
