Hi, I've upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro and I've done a clean install using the 'Reset this PC' option in the 'Settings>Update & Security>Recovery'. So apps and drivers have been deleted and settings restored. (I kept my files) I downloaded the drivers from Acer website and I Installed them but I've got a problem with 'TouchPad Synaptics Driver'.

Synaptics Touchpad driver for Windows 10 (32-bit, 64-bit), 8.1 (64-bit) - Lenovo B4400s, E4430, K4450, K2450, M4400s Laptop. Feb 05, 2017 Here's an update to my previous video on how to fix the trackpad scrolling issues in Windows 10 for Synaptics trackpads. The driver can be obtained from.

When I wanted to install it, it said: But when I wanted to uninstall the previous version (17.0.15.0) from 'Programs and features' it said: Because there isn't any folder called 'Synaptics' in the 'C: Program Files'. So The second time I selected 'Yes' (for installing the new driver) and I think the new driver (19.0.7.33) was installed properly. I checked the driver version in 'Device Manager' and it was correct (19.0.7.33) but in 'Programs and features' the version was still 17.0.15.0.

After that I uninstalled the driver from 'Device Manager' in Safe Mode but I didn't mark 'Delete the driver software for this device.' And I reinstalled it in Safe Mode too.

Corporate Computer And Network Security Pdf Free there. Still no folder for 'Synaptics' in 'C: Program Files' and no way to uninstall ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' from 'Programs and features'. So I uninstalled the ' Synaptics HID Device' from 'Device Manager' again (not in Safe Mode) but this time I selected the option to delete the driver package from the system then I selected 'Scan for Hardware changes' and I restarted the PC.

Nothing happend. So after the restart I selected 'Scan for Hardware changes' again and a new device called ' HID-compliant vendor-defined device' was added. I couldn't still uninstall the ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' from 'Programs and features'.

Again, I installed the new driver I had downloaded from the website and I think just the name of the ' HID-compliant vendor-defined device' has been changed to ' Synaptics HID Device' and the driver has been updated. I also used a third-party software called 'Geek Uninstaller' to uninstall the ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' from 'Programs and features' but it couldn't do it too and I got the same error message. I think before I upgrade to Windows 10, ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' wasn't in my 'Programs and features' list in Windows 8.1.

Plus, when I reseted Windows 10 (using 'Reset this PC' option), it wasn't in the 'Removed Apps' list! So maybe it came with Windows 10 or after reseting Windows 10! What should I do now to get rid of this error for uninstalling the previous version and remove it from 'Programs and features'?!

And How can I have the 'Synaptics' folder in 'C: Program Files' when the driver doesn't make it?! Remove it as you did before from device manager.

Delete the install folder then run ccleaner's reg cleaner a couple of times till you see no more errors. Reboot and install the driver with the given installer. Thank you I uninstalled it from Device Manager and I ran CCleaner's Registry Cleaner three times till I get no more errors about Synaptics. First time I got two issues/errors. Second time I got another issue with Synaptics. And the Third time no issues about it. I just fixed the issues with Synaptics and not all registry issues.

Because I thought that maybe it deletes something that is necessary and I face new problems! Just like what it's Browser Monitoring did. CCleaner asked me to free about 2.5 GB of space and I don't know why I selected 'Yes' then it started deleting all my Mozilla Firefox's history, cache and cookies that were necessary!!! Now I have to Sync them again! About the Synaptics: I checked 'Programs and features' and ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' has been gone. However, after rebooting the system when I tried to install the new driver it gave me the that error again: So I selected 'Yes' and it got installed properly like before but again it didn't make the 'Synaptics' folder in 'C: Program Files'! It seems just ' Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' has been removed from the list and nothing else has been changed!

May get you sorted sorry i didnt post this last night i had issues myself. Sorry for the late reply. I was too busy and I didn't have the time to test it. I tried it but it didn't solve the problem too. Will the setting return to its original state after restarting?! Or I should enable Driver Signature Enforcement again?! Right now: Device manager says the driver version is 19.0.7.33.

(Which I want to be) Windows Registry Editor says it's 17.0.15. (Which I don't want to be) There is no folder for Synaptics in 'C: Program Files'. (Which I think it should be) There is a file called 'SynTP.sys' in 'C: Windows System32 drivers'. There is also a folder with some files for Synaptics in 'C: Windows System32 DriverStore FileRepository rz011dmouex.inf_amdecb751ae0' which Registry Editor says that it's InstallDir. Note: This solution is easy, but it can only be set when the computer is booted. In addition, the setting will return to its original state after restarting. However, I tried running this command ' BCDEDIT /set nointegritychecks OFF' in Command Prompt (Admin) to enable Driver Signature Enforcement but it says: An error has occurred setting the element data.
