How to enable Touchpad edge-swipe gestures on Windows 10

Hello,
Since Windows 10 no longer has the charms bar, I was wondering if it were possible to assign edge-swipe touchpad gestures on Windows 10.
I have Control Zone type touchpad on my non-touchscreen HP laptop and it looks extremely ugly when the left and the right of the touchpad is darker gray but has no distinct purpose than the middle part.
I couldn't find any way to enable edge-swipe gestures in the Control Panel or Settings app. (Maybe there is but I failed to find.)
Is there any way to have edge-swipe gestures on Windows 10? On tablets, swiping from left if the screen brings up Task View and from right brings up Action Center. The gestures could at least be like that on the touchpad, too.
Is HP (or Synaptics) planning to release updated drivers for such thing?
Is there any way to create our own touchpad gestures, perhaps?
Thank you!

Problem fixed . For anyone who needs help.
Go to contol panel>Mouse>Touchpad settings Tab>Touchpad settings
There you should see 'Palmcheck Enhanced'. Click on the settings button next to it and then turn it to Minimum or Off. Simple thats all.
No need for installs or reinstalling drivers just follow those steps.

  • Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

    Hello,
    I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
    These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
    After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
    Why is edge switpes still enabled?
    How to disable edge swipes?
    Regards
    Graham

    > I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
    The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
    It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
    > Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
    Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
    > When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
    Thats right and this is how it works
    > However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
    Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

  • How to enable triplefinger swipe gesture on Windows 8.1?

    I've tried to modify the about:config section with no success.
    It works only the ALT+TwoFingerGesture to go back and forward on history.
    In explorer I can go back and forward with a three finger swipe gesture, can it be enabled on firefox?

    Due to low use, the Firefox for Metro interface will no longer be released. If you would like to read more about this you can see the [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/ blog post]
    The three finger swipe may be an add on, but I do not know.

  • Anyone knows how to enable the multi-touch gesture on ipad2 or any update how

    Help pls.

    It costs US$5, but I did it yesterday and it requires a Mac.
    On a Mac open the Mac App Store and buy Xcode. After the Xcode installer has completely downloaded run it and install Xcode on your Mac. Open Xcode and attach your iPad. Xcode gives you the option to use the iPad for iOS development. Enable that and the Multitasking Gestures will be available to turn on in Settings/General on your iPad.
    There are 3 gestures.
    Use four ot five fingers to;
    • Pinch for Home screen
    • Swipe up & down for revealing & hiding the multitasking bar
    • Swipe left or right to go between open apps
    If you have a PC there is a way to activate it for free. It involves adding a line to a preference file in the iPad's OS. This activates the gestures only, but does not install the on/off button in Settings/General as the Mac method does. Do a Google search to find the steps to do this.

  • How to enable 3 finger swipe?

    I'm a Mac OS user and was always used to swipe with three fingers to change desktops. On iOS that's done with four fingers.
    When I went to settings > general I saw the option for multitask gestures but only enable/disable.
    Is there some hack/hidden option that allows me to use three fingers instead of four to swipe through tasks? The same goes for exposé.
    Thanks

    There is no three finger swipe.

  • How to enable touchpad while typing on IdeaPad U530

    I want to be able to use the thouchpad while simultaneously using the keyboard, i.e be able to play games properly. If I am hitting a key I can no longer move the mouse. I cant figure out how to change that. Already spent around an hour searching the internet for a solution but none seem to have it for windows 8.1. Bummer. Anyone have any ideas? I've already gone to pc settings and turned the touchpad to the no delay setting and I've gone into the mouse settings under the control panel and turned palm tracking to minimum. All were suggestions I've found online but none have solved the issue. I just want to play Portal 2.... By the way the driver software for my touchpad is apparently called Elan, if that helps any. Thanks.

    Okay guys and gals. With "newer" HP Laptops, in order for your mouse to be able to move while you are pressing a key on your keyboard is to disable "Smartsense" All you do is go to the control panel, mouse, clickpad settings tab, clickpad settings button, under "pointing" you will find "Smartsense". Click on the gear next to it to open the settings for it. Lastly, slide the slider all the way to the left until it says "off". There you go. That should do it. I searched and searched the internet for the answer for this and could not find one. So I figured it out and decided to post it.

  • How to enable traffic between VPN clients in Windows Server 2012 R2?

    Hello, 
    I installed Remote Access role with VPN.
    IPv4 Router is enabled: http://snag.gy/UAMY2.jpg
    VPN clients should use static ip pool: http://snag.gy/REjkB.jpg
    One VPN user is configured to have static ip: http://snag.gy/TWwq0.jpg
    VPN server uses Windows Authentication and Windows Accounting.
    With this setup, VPN clients can connect to server, get ip addresses and can see server via server's vpn ip. Server can connect to VPN clients too (Using client's vpn ips). But VPN clients can't communicate with each other.
    For example, VPN server has ip 192.168.99.5
    VPN Client 1 - 192.168.99.6
    VPN Client 2 - 192.168.99.7
    I am able to ping 192.168.99.5 from both clients, and able to ping 192.168.99.6 and 192.168.99.7 from server via remote desktop. But I am not able to ping 192.168.99.7 from client 1 and 192.168.99.6 from client 2.
    If I trace route from 192.168.99.6 to 192.168.99.7 - I can see that packets goes to server (192.168.99.5) and next hop - request timeout.
    What else should I configure to allow network traffic between VPN clients?

    Hi,
    To better analyze this issue, would you please post the routing tables on the two VPN clients? You can run "route print" at the command prompt to get the routing table.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • How to enable SCCM 2012 clients to get Windows Updates through SSL VPN

    I would like my SCCM 2012 client laptops to get Windows Updates through SSL VPN.
    I suppose I need to add VPN Subnet in my boundary and boundary group.
    What other setting I need to enable?
    At this moment, on the 'Software Update Point Component Properties' "Allow intranet-only client connections" radio button is active. Do I neeed to select "Allow both intranet and internet client connections" and Enable SSL communications
    for the WSUS server?
    or are there something else I need to check?

    No, a VPN client is no different than a client connected internally as far as the network is concerned and as far as ConfigMgr is concerned there is no way to explicitly know any different. Internet clients literally are those that connect via the Internet
    using IBCM.

  • How to use trackpad gestures with Windows 8 Developer Preview?

    I have installed a Windows 8 Developer Preview on my MacBook via BootCamp Assistant. I found that it isn't support the trackpad gestures! (ex: two-fingers tap to right-click)
    So how can I use the trackpad gestures with Windows 8?
    Thank you for all reply.

    The BootCamp drivers that you can download and burn to a disc via the Boot Camp application in Mac OS can be installed in Windows 8 (run setup.exe from the disc while in Windows 8, preferably by right-clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator") and will allow you to use all of the current features of the touchpad (including two finger clicking/tapping).  Once you have installed the drivers as described above, you can then click on the arrow in the System Tray and right-click on the black triangle that is for the BootCamp control panel. In those settings you can change how the touchpad responds to your taps, clicks, etc.
