Windows 8.1 two finger gestures not working

After I updated to windows 8.1 from  windows 8 yesterday, none of my two finger gestures are working. (e.g. two finger scroll, two finger click, or zoom) I tried updating my Synaptics driver and nothing has changed. I still can not use any of my two finger gestures. One finger scrolling is working properly but the two finger gestures are my favorite. All my gestures worked fine until I updated to windows 8.1...
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? 
Please help!

Hello HelpMe0,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand two-finger prompts are not working since upgrading to Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help, but first, I require the computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
Thanks!

  • Multi finger gesture not working

    Hi,
    My laptop is hp 15-r014TX.
    Recently my touchpad multi finger gesture has stopped working. I can not scroll using 2-finger scroll, right click, rotation, zoom in and out. However, one-finger gestures are all working fine like I can swap between apps by left swipe, options appear by right swipe. I tried changing the settings, but of no use.
    Thanks,
    Pragya

    Hello @Pragya_Mathur ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP 15-r014tx Notebook and the finger gestures not working correctly. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the finger gestures on a Touchpad.
    If you will go to the section on common TouchPad gestures, TouchPad and ClickPad configuration options are located on the TouchPad properties page. It shows you the Clickpad properties page. You can select the options.  This only works on programs that have this capability, such as a photo browser or word processor.
    Hope this fixes your issue with finger gestures.
    Thanks.

  • Windows 8 two-finger-scrolling not working properly

    Two-Finger Scrolling in Windows 8 doesn't seem to work properly on my U300S Synaptics trackpad.
    Instead of just scrolling through the tiles or app on the Windows 8(.1) startscreen, individual apps are higlighted and scrolled through like when I use the arrow-keys on a regular keyboard.
    Also, in the metro version of Internet Explorer you should be able to move back and forth in the browser history by horizontally doing a two-finger-scroll gesture.
    Do I have to install anything besides the Synpatics driver to get this to work properly?

    I am having similar problems, although I don't have the zoom issue- it is simply not scrolling.   very frustrating when you are accustomed to this method.   My resolution was also reset, but I don't find that as much of an issue- the scrolling I can't fix.

  • Magic Mouse - Two Finger Swipe not working in Finder + iTunes

    Hello,
    since OSX 10.8 I realized that in Finder & iTunes the backward/forward navigation has stopped working with Magic Mouse (two-finger-swipe gesture).
    I have already read a lot of forums as well as apple-discussions and didn't find a solution apart from MagicPrefs or any other 3rd-party-app.
    Is that a bug or just not meant to work? Does anybody know why Apple stopped providing this - very useful - gesture?
    Thank you for your time and have a perfect day
    Sascha

    Pual_31 suggested good advise...
    I would also recommend if that does not work, to reboot and run "repair permissions" from Disk Utilities.
    Also might suggest downloading and trying MagicPrefs, it's a free program for the Magic Mouse and it really works great. May help with your problem, may not but I'd give it a try.

  • Finger gesture not working on ipad

    Ever since the iOS 8 update and the latest updates there after, figure gestures on my iPad are simply not working. To get then to work you need to drag down from the top of the screen to see notifications and then it works. have spoken to apple and they suggested it was an app but it does it on everything. Come on apple sort this out its very frustrating. Has anyone had this and have a solution ?

    Define "finger gestures". The iPad is a touch screen device so that's a pretty broad category. If you are talking about multi tasking gestures, like pinching to the home screen, or using a four finger swipe, I have found it to be flakey since the iOS 8 update as well. If it quits working on me, I go into the Settings>General>Mulitasking Gestures and turn it off, then on again. That's not a fix, but it usually holds for a few weeks before I uave to do it again.

  • Trackpad Problems: Two-Finger Sometimes Not Working

    This is a recent problem I've been having that's just surfaced only this week.
    Every now and then, as I'm two-finger scrolling, the trackpad will register only one finger, consequently moving the mouse only. Settings are alright, otherwise two-finger scrolling wouldn't be working at all. It works, but sometimes it does not.

    Sometimes recalcitrant trackpads can be corrected by a very through cleaning of the trackpad.  See if that is the cure.
    This could be it. I am using a protector film, but it's the same sheet that I've been using since 2009. The film could be deterioating. I will remove it and check. I hope the trackpad is not susceptible to staining over time...
    If not, open the MBP and see if the battery has swollen and is interfering with the trackpad.
    Good to know, though not likely not the case as the battery was recently changed.

  • T430s Two finger scroll not working reliably

    Hi!
    Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes the skin of my fingers to get two finger scroll working.
    The system update does not see a reason to update the drivers.
    Is there more effective software for the synaptic touchpad to do two finger scroll?

    Hi, theking2
    System Update is a very useful tool, but I find it best to always check for driver updates manually, just in case the updater missed something. The latest version of the Syanptics driver can be found here and may help your issue.
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • Two finger scroll not working in Microsoft Word for Mac

    Just finished installing Yosemite today and haven't had any real issues...however, I've noticed that two-finger scrolling doesn't work in Microsoft Word for mac. It works fine in many other applications (including other Microsoft apps--Excel & PowerPoint), but not Word.
    I've looked for any scrolling options that may be "unchecked" in the preferences, but haven't found any.

    I'm having the same issue. However, I have restarted and it still won't work. This is extremely frustrating as I have the latest updates and everything but it doesn't work and I keep forgetting every time I try to scroll.
    I'm also having the issue of whenever my Mac goes to sleep or if I turn it off, the log in screen says there are updates necessary. I feel like this is a bug because I've updated my computer like 20 times in the past few days...

  • Two Finger Scroll Not Working on my Inspiron 3543

    It's been just a month since I bought my new lappy. Usually when I start it up, the two finger scroll works just fine in the Start menu of Windows 8.1.
    But after about 10 minutes or so, when I press Start for something, and try scrolling with the two fingers... BAMM !!!!   It's futile. Nothing happens whatsoever.
    Please help. All responses appreciated.

    Hey,
            First of all... Thank you for replying. I don't remember any specific update but, the Windows action center keeps downloading some additional updates if that's what you are referring to. And I also tried to update my touchpad driver, but it says that it is already up to date.
           Regarding the Dell TouchPad properties, I already tried that and it is configured as per my convenience. Yet it goes through the same error.
          Thank you again for suggesting.

  • Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

    Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

    I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
    Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
    I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

  • After 10.9.4 Update, two finger scrolling not working in any App

    I have all the right settings selected in System Preferences. Tried restarting the computer a couple times. I can't figure out why it is happening. Thanks for the help!

    Go to system preferences, trackpad. Then go to point and click and make sure tap to click is ticked. It worked for me.

  • I use a Mac (OS 10.6.8) and I have lost two finger gesture of enlarge/shrink, which works in other applications

    Ever since I upgraded to firefox 6 I have lost the two finger gesture built into OS 10.6. I have this ability in other programs such as iPhoto, and Safari, but I have lost it in Firefox. Other two finger gestures still work (like scrolling).
    I cannot upgrade to Firefox 7 or 8 simply because a Learning Management System that I use for work (Angel) is not compatible with Firefox 7 or 8).

  • Flex 2 14 - Two finger tap for Right-Click not working (Two finger double tap works)

    I bought my Flex 2 14 a couple of weeks back.
    I want to enable Two-finger tap (not click) for right click.. Unfortunately it does not work.
    Weirdly, Two-finger DOUBLE tap works for right click.. 
    How do I get a two-finger tap? 
    I tried the regitry hacks from here (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Yoga-2-Pro-Two-finger-tap-does-not-work/td-p/1406... but no luck yet. 
    Any help please. 

    I have found a solution but I am still annoyed I had to do my own tech work to get a common touch figure enabled. (By the way there's many threads out there on Synpatics drivers and touchpads not working right for many people on different machines.)
    Anyway, indeed the fastest fix is to modify a registry entry for Synaptics. Just open  the regisitry edit software on the Yoga and then go through the folders: HKEY LOCAL / Software / Synaptics / SynTP / Win8
    In "2FingerTapAction" all you need is to change the value from "0" to "2" - and presto two-finger tap is now a right click!
    Much easier than going through a driver install / uninstall routine or any other of the suggestions I've found out there.
    I wish Lenovo had this set up as a default. It's really a great gesture and it's quiet and fast.

  • Three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    three finger or two finger gesture to move back and forward between pages of file only work on safari, unlike with old os. this new lion won't let me do it. Any help?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.
