EDIT:

Under PS 7.1.3,

> Get-AppxPackage alpsdelltouchpadsettings
Get-AppxPackage: The 'Get-AppxPackage' command was found in the module 'Appx', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Appx'

Following that, I tried what was instructed, and

> Import-Module Appx
Import-Module: Operation is not supported on this platform. (0x80131539)

which is widely reported in the web. So I stopped trying with PS 7.1.3.


Under PS 5.1,

> Get-AppxPackage alpsdelltouchpadsettings

returns nothing, but it works. So I tried finding the package by trial and error:

> Get-AppxPackage | grep alp
> Get-AppxPackage | grep touch
> Get-AppxPackage | grep input

None of these found any results. (I am a newbie with PS, but at one point I made sure grep and other commands were aliased, and I just double checked with Get-AppxPackage | grep power that grep is working, and it is case-insensitive).


My Dell Latitude touchpad is not scrolling with two fingers. I tried going to the Control Panel -> Dell Touchpad, but it doesn't work.

And I don't see any setting for the touchpad in Control Panel -> Mouse. This is the closest I get

  • The simplest solution to this problem is to uninstall and reinstall alpsdelltouchpadsettings from the Microsoft Store. The "You'll need a new app to open this ..." message indicates an application configuration issue and isn't unique to the application in question.

  • I would try simply running wsreset.exe as an Administrator. Sadly the cmdlet you need to solve this problem (Reset-AppxPackage), or at least the way I know will solve the problem, requires Windows 11. There should be an entry for the application within Apps > Apps & features with a Reset button I would try that also. This is the application you need to reinstall

  • The only other thing I can suggest requires more information. Get-AppxPackage alpsdelltouchpadsettings should provide that information.

  • What about Settings - Devices - Touchpad. Commented Dec 29, 2021 at 4:07
  • @user1644677 - It shows everything normal, but still gestures/scrolling do not work. Commented Dec 29, 2021 at 10:38
