Upgraded Windows-7 to Windows-10, previous windows had ALPS driver package but now WinUpdate push Synaptics driver (v19.0.13.0). Unfortunately it does not bring wizard panel to set tap+doubletap+additional settings.

Windows only allow generic dialog values (swap left/right, mouse speed). Values set this registry values.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP
  MouseSpeedLevel=0..n
  EmulateMouseButtonSwap=0/1

I want to disable tap and doubletap features. I tried this registry value but did nothing. Do anyone has a working Touchpad properties dialog and could identify registry value of Tap_on_touchpad=on/off and Doubletap_on_touchpad=on/off features?

Lenovo has released Synaptics Win10-64bit installer but Synaptics site does not give a generic installer. I don't feel comfortable to try this if Properties dialog was available again. Wish someone could dump Synaptics Registry tree and I could try direct registry values first.

edit: I have PackardBell EasyNote TJ75, added link to Lenovo.

  • PackardBell EasyNote TJ75 and puzzled me Win10 update pushed me Synaptics driver immmediately. I want to disable tap+doubletap features but unable to do so. DeviceManager/DriverDetails show it's synaptics dll driver. Was thinking it may use synaptics registry values.

    Neither of those versions are event close to the current version. Download the current version from Synaptics and/or the product specification page for your laptop.

  • Neither? I don't know version of ALPS dll (previous Win7) but Win10-upgrade after first reboot forcefully pushed Synaptics driver and no longer is properties dialog available. I can see this Win8 v17.0.19 link in synaptics site link but no Win10 and WinUpdate gave 19.x. PackardBell site has years old win7 stuff only.

  • Found link telling Lenovo has released Synaptics v19.0.12.61 installer. Synaptics does not still provide a generic Win10 download link for some reason. Not comfortable to try Lenovo driver but maybe it's a last resort give Properties dialog if none has direct Registry values available.
