Hi! I have a problem with my newly bought Acer Aspire laptop. It is an Aspire A315-51-35LM with an original Linux Endless OS. When I switched to Windows 10, it worked okay. But my problem is that the "double-finger scrolling" is not working. I already installed the two touchpacd drivers. I think it was Symantic and Elantech, I forgot the name. Anyway, I wish somehere here could help me. Thanks!

    Hey! I was struggling with this probem when setting up a system for a client.

     

    The simple solution is this: After installing Windows and both touchpad drivers (Windows will select which one to use)), reboot your system into BIOS, go to the Advanced tab, down to Touchpad, press enter and then change it from basic to advanced. Save changes and exit bios. When booting into windows, everything should be working properly. You can now go to touchpad settings and set up multi-finger gestures.

    Hi,

    Touchpad should be either Elantech or Symantec, before installing the drivers, you need to check whether you have to check whether you have Precision touchpad in Device manager.

    In windows 10, go to Settings, Devices and click Touchpad and try enabling finger gestures.
