Touchpad Not Working in Windows 10

Most of our  drivers automatically installed in Windows 10 and Windows Automatic updates. But sometimes the most compatible and newest version provided by Windows does not work as it should, such as you can't use the 2 finger scrolling.

Of course not all of us are tech savvy and have the knowledge to get the right and latest drivers. To put things simple, here is a simple guide to fix it.

1. Download the latest drivers
Most common laptop nowadays uses either synaptic (popular on Acer and HP) or Elantech.

For Synaptic just download the latest version from synaptic:
http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php

For elantech you need to download this version:
Elantech_Touchpad_11.8.24.6 : Download link (for toshiba)
for other model just google YOURLAPTOPMODEL 11.8.24.6, example : ASUS 11.8.24.6

2. Uninstall driver and reboot

This simple steps proven worked on cetain model such as ASUS.
Go to Device manager (right click on windows icon and select device manager) - mice and other pointing devices - Right click on your pointing device displayed and reboot. (You may need to reboot twice).
