Acer Aspire S7-392 touchpad not working as usual

Hi,

The touchpad on my Acer is not working properly. If I want to drag the cursor I have to click on the touchpad with two fingers and keep pressing and at the same time moving my fingers where I want the cursos to go. How can I make it back to normal? I have tried looking into the settings but couldn't find anything that could help. Sometimes the cursor moves when I use two fingers but after a couple of seconds it freezes.Tapping on the touchpad to open files works fine.

When I use an USB plugged mouse, the cursor works fine.

Any suggestions will be helpful, but please be detailed in your answer, I am not really good with computers ;-)

Thank you.

Hi and thank you for your reply.

It is Windows 10 indeed, even though I don't have the "advance gesture configuration" option, I was able to reset the default setting for the synaptics click pad and my touchpad is working just fine. Thank you though, you pointed me in the right direction.

Hi,

I assume that you have Windows 10, if you have, go to Settings(click start and then the wheel), click Devices, select Touchpad from left pane, scroll down the page to Advanced gesture configuration, try different settings in the next window.
