Windows 8.1 Ent. Helix - UltraNav, TouchPad and Keyboard issues

System:
Helix 3701XXX
Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit
Third Apps installed
Latest Lenovo Drivers installed
Problem:
Latest versions of ThinkPad Synaptic UltraNav Drivers (versions 18.0.7.39 to .57)  causing keyboard to act sporadically. This would cause programs to automatically open and key inputs to continuously active (repeating the enter key). Other behaviors include ignoring touchpad input and ignoring certain keys on keyboard. The problem has been reported by 5+ systems.
When it occurs:
The problem is intermittent; it often occurs after waking the system up from sleep or from a locked state (Windows lockscreen). As a workaround, the user has to press the ESC key, CTRL+ALT+Delete or restart the system in order to regain functionality. Uninstalling the driver application also resolves the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any advice from Lenovo staff would help.

Yes, I get similar issues. Although in my case it is mainly:
i) the mouse point does not respond after resuming from sleep - CTRL-ALT-Delete or ESC normal resolves this
ii) windows or programs open on resume from sleep as if the mouse button was depressed (could be enter key however). Again CTRL-ALT-DEL or ESC can resolve this
I'm pretty sure that this is a driver issue as it has only been the last 6 or so months I've experienced this
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro

  • Touchpad and Keyboard not working (including external devices)

    Hi,
    I am using an rmbp with win7 and macosx.
    Win7 on my bootcamp partition was working perfectly(4 months+) until now .I restarted my system  and realized that the touchpad and keyboard are not working(inluding external mice/keyboard).I can boot into Macosx and the mouse and keyboard are working perfectly so its not a hardware problem.I havent set any restore points and have tried all the other recovery options (using f8 before booting) but to no avail
    I have read some other solutions which involved opening the device manager but I cannot press anything when I login to windows.Does anybody have any idea except reinstalling windows? I would really appreciate any help !
    Cheers

    I have even loaded my Bootcamp partition in parallels ,in hopes of repairing the installation from there but Parallels give an error about mouse coherence and I cannot use my keyboard and mouse there .
    Does anyone have any other idea except reinstalling windows ? .Thanks !

  • How can I stop the Thinkpad Yoga 14 from disabling the touchpad and keyboard?

    My dad got a Thinkpad Yoga 14 about a month ago and he usually uses his laptop at a 90 degree angle in bed. So when he is on his side, the laptop is on it's side as well. When he does that with the Thinkpad Yoga, the touchpad and the keyboard are disabled and he cannot use the laptop like he wants to. I think because it's a setting to not accidentally touch the keyboard or mouse when using it in tablet mode.
    I cannot find any setting on how to stop Windows from disabling the touchpad and keyboard on rotate. I've turned off auto-rotate but can't see anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Hello there, omsmac.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great place to start with some good information that can apply to keyboard issues as well as trackpad:
    Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
    Aside from the usage recommendations, this recommended step is very practical:
    If none of the above resolve the issue, try to rule-out software not created by Apple as a cause. To do so, start in Safe Mode.
    There are some good steps for testing the keyboard as well found here:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381
    If the issue persists after attempting Safe Mode, then you may want to try an SMC (System Management Controller) reset. The steps on how to accomplish that are found here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

  • My touchpad and keyboard don't work.

    When I turn on my computer, my touchpad and keyboard don't work, and only the touchscreeen seems to function properly. It only turns on after a good ten or fifteen minutes. I have had to use a mouse.

    hey maybe this link http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-touc … 89324.html will help you, for me reloading the kernel module for the mouse with "modprobe -r psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse" did the trick.

  • T440s touchpad and trackpoint issue

    I have a new T440s which came with Windows 8, and I upgraded to 8.1
    Nothing strange installed in it.
    Sometimes touchpad and/or trackpoint don't work at all after turning on, rebooting or recovering from a suspended state.
    It never fails while the system is running.
    When it happens, I reboot and it works fine.
    Already upgraded everything using System Update (BIOS, etc) and Windows Update.
    Sounds to me as a driver issue, not a hardware issue... but I am not 100% sure.
    What should I do?
    Should I reinstall any driver? How?

    Uninstall the UltraNav driver from Device Manager or Programs and Features. Then run System Update; it should offer the UltraNav driver again.

  • Lenovo G500 TouchPad and Keyboard wont function at the same time

    Lenovo Laptop G500
    Windows 8
    Synaptics TouchPad V7.5
    Driver Version 16.3.13.3
        The Synaptics TouchPad and the keyboard won't function simultaneously. If I uninstall the driver for the TouchPad the keyboard and TouchPad will work simultaneously on the windows driver however the TouchPad is very limited. There is no option to turn off the palm touch listed as a fix in other forum post.
        This problem makes it impossible to play games that require the TouchPad and mouse to work simultaneously I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. 
    Thanks in advance Dennis

    hi djdishaw,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try to:
    1. Lower the palm tracking and touch sensitivity to minimum, apply the changes and observe.
    - Link to picture
    2. If same problem,  try to update the Synaptics Touchpad driver to v16.3.15.1 and repeat Step 1.

  • Touchpad and Keyboard not working

    For the last 2 weeks my keyboard and touchpad has not been working when I load onto the log in screen on Windows. The keyboard works while the computer is loading but once the log in screen comes up, I can not use both. I have tried taking the battery out and holding the power button and hitting F7 when the computer is loading but neither of them makes my touchpad or keyboard work. I can choose Safe Mode when the computer is loading but neither will work after Windows load. There was an update that completed two weeks ago and it started afterward.
    I have a HP Pavillion Dv6t - 1200
    Product Number FV161AV
    I need to know how can this be fixed and IF it is worth fixing.
    Thanks in  advance

    turn on the notebook while its turning on or booting up keep on tapping F8 button there will be options on how you want to boot the notebook choose safemode with command prompt, test your keys there and touchpad if it works most probably that your system got a malware that made the keyboard & touchpad malfunction... you got 2 options you could perform system restore but after a while the issue will exist or you could perform recovery but will wipe out all the information on the notebook (it will revert the notebook back to factory default condition) better to back up all  your data.
    there is no harm in trying, just always give your best shot!!!

  • Touchpad and keyboard problems

    I've had a long series of laptops and vaguely recall a problem like this from the distant past, but I can't seem to avoid the touchpad when I type and the sensitive thing sends my cursor skittering across the page.  I use a mouse and so have always had the touchpad shut off when a USB mouse is installed but I haven't been able to shut this one off -- even contacted the seller and his advice referred to a non-existent setting so I've recontated him.  So my question is, how do I shut the touchpad off when a mouse is installed on my HP Envy 15 with Windows 7?
    Also, as I type and without rhyme or reason whole passages will be highlighted and then the next keystroke deletes them all.  This is a new problem for me.  I don't know whether the problem is with the mouse (it does this whether I'm using the touchpad or an an external mouse) or the keyboard.
    Thanks,

    Hi there @Lawrence3 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are having trouble with the touchpad, when typing or using a mouse.  I am happy to help you with this.
    First please refer to the following:  Using and Configuring the TouchPad (Windows 7 and Vista)
    You will either want to adjust the sensitivity of the Touchpad or outright disable it.
    Also you should look at this fine post by @Dragon-Fur Re: disable touchpad on laptop

  • Touchpad and bluetooth issue

    Hi,
    The bluetooth and touchpad enable/disable feature is not working on my hp g4 1303AU model. I have installed lots of bluetooth drivers but to no avail.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Parag

    Hello @paragpratim,
    I have read your post on how the TouchPad and Bluetooth software on your computer is not functioning correctly, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    Since the TouchPad and the Bluetooth are collectively not working, I recommend installing the original software and drivers that first came with your notebook computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7) or for (Windows 8).
    Once this software is installed, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7) or for (Windows 8) to update the drivers.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Satellite Pro L500-19X boots ok but touchpad and keyboard fail

    Satellite Pro L500-19X running windows 7.
    The machine boots ok, then at the login screen neither the touchpad or keyboard works.
    The only way I can overcome this is to go back to a previous restore point.
    After this, the machine runs fine until I power off, on powering up again, I get the same issue.
    The machine has the latest updates applied.
    Any pointers welcomed.

    Hi lfc1892,
    Have you tested external input devices? Maybe your internal devices are faulty and must be replaced. In this case the external input devices should work properly! :)
    Furthermore you should follow the instructions posted by Dr.Lamp. Check this also in safe mode and in BIOS. In worst case you have to reinstall Windows

  • Windows 10 install (64 bit). Mouse and keyboard do not work, can't click through setup configuration.

    I've tried with both upgrade and iso installation (starting from Windows 7), but for some reason, after setup is finished and I get into the configuration area (IE, accepting license agreements or choosing network or choosing express setup), I do not have
    a mouse and keyboard to do anything with.  The keyboard and mouse are powered, but aren't giving input.  For example, toggling cap's lock does not show up on the keyboard's lights.
    Keyboard is Razer Black Widow, mouse is Gigabyte M8000X.  I also tried with a Microsoft wireless mouse/keyboard pair with the Razer unplugged during setup (Reason being, a separate razer setup window would appear during the 'configuring devices' stage).
     I am able to install to virtual box, but I've only tried the 32 bit installer.  I have not yet tried the 32 bit installer on the actual machine, and I have not yet tried booting to the CD.
