ELAN SMART PAD DRIVERS WINDOWS 10 MSI DRIVER
I ran the installer (dpinst.exe) of this driver: Synaptics Precision Touchpad Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit) - ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Machine types: 20HQ, 20HR).Let me run you through the steps that I made:

As I still wanted to have those multitouch features I tried a couple of different drivers hoping they would work - one did! My Acer S7-392 has a Synaptics clickpad as well and originally didn't support the Windows 10 multitouch gestures (no precision trackpad). This should ensure that the driver is properly initialized for use and that you will have all of your Microsoft Precision goodness at all times. Now every time your system is woken up from sleep, this task will run devcon.exe and tell it to restart the synaptics driver as an administrative user. The arguments should be something like /restart symbol preceding your ID is important as well as the quotes!įinally, be sure to open the conditions tab for the task and un-tick the box under the power heading that states "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power." This ensures the task still runs even when you are not plugged in.įinally click ok and ensure that your task has been created.

The action should be "start a program" and the Program/Script field should point to your full install path of devcon.exe. Next, under the actions tab, create a new action. Event ID should be 1 (this stands for system wake). The trigger should begin the task on an event with the log being System and Source being Power-Troubleshooter. Next, click the triggers tab and create a new trigger. Also be sure to select the radio button for "Run whether user is logged in or not." Be sure to set it to run as a user with administrative privileges and to tick the "run with highest privileges" box.
Within the task scheduler window, create a new task:įill out the task's name (such as "Restart TouchPad On Wake") and description. To do this, open Task Scheduler (you can search for this in the start menu) as an administrative user. Once you have your ID, you need to create a scheduled task (as administrator!) to reset this device by ID. For me, this maps to "ROOT\SYNHIDMINI\0000" which is the ID I am interested in for restarting purposes. Look for the one with the description of "Synaptics HID-Compliant Touch pad Device" or something similar. This command will bring up a list of different items. From here we can determine the ID of the driver we need to restart. Shift+Left-Click in the folder that contains devcon.exe and select the "Open CMD/PowerShell" context menu item. After you have devcon.exe on your machine (in my case, I put it under C:\Program Files\DevCon) you need to identify the driver you need restarted.
To begin, first you need to grab a copy of devcon.exe for your particular operating system install. To fix this, you need to create a windows task that restarts the driver on system wake.
Interestingly enough, this issue did not happen when the machine would wake from hibernate, only when waking from sleep. By "break" I mean the touchpad would work, but none of the touchpad settings / precision functionality would be present. So I noticed that with this hack, the driver would break after the system woke from a sleep state. My tutorial is based on the findings from here (reddit post). I cannot guarantee this will work for everyone, but it is worth a shot. This works on my HP Spectre X360 (2017) that has a synaptics touchpad. I found a way to do this and I have posted a quick tutorial here: The Verge Forums.
