windows windows-10 drivers touchpad

I had the same problem in my windows 10, 64bits. So this is what worked for me:

1.- Go here http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/X44H/HelpDesk_Download/

2.- Select Windows 8, 64 bits

3.- Download (Synaptics Touchpad driver) 145.15 MBytes. And Install it usually.

4.- When the install is complete, restart Windows.

5.- After Restart windows, on screen will appear some alert to launch the Synaptic Program. Unmark the label "always ask before opening this file" in all the alerts, and launch the programs.

6.- And that´s it. The alerts will never appear in the next restarts, and you will be able to use Scrolling in Windows 10.

I have just updated Windows 7 to Windows 10. My touchpad scolling (right-side) is not working anymore.

I have no idea how to fix this in Windows 10.

I have hit the start button and typed "synaptic", but have found nothing useful.

I used to have an icon on the taskbar that showed where I was touching the touchpad. I used to be able to right-click that icon to change settings, but Windows 10 has not brought that icon over.

Also, the asus website has no synaptic touchpad drivers available for Windows 10. I have tried the enaltech drivers, but upon the installation atempt I am told that my hardware is not correct.

  You need to install synaptic drivers that support Windows 10. I am happy to find it, I just need to know, what sort of Synaptic device you have specifically.

  @Ramhound In Linux I know I could do lspci, but I don't know how to find that out in Windows. Any tips?

  Research. Can you verify your hardware is on this list?

  Synaptics v17 Drivers should work, any ASUS specific gestures will be lost, but none work now so there is little downside. I had no problem finding Windows 10 Synaptics drivers. Are you sure you have a Synaptic touchpad though. The product page offers Synaptics and Elantech device drivers only one is applicable to your hardware.

  @Ramhound I didn't get a list when I entered "x44h", but I did get " Pre-release product screen images shown, subject to change; Apps sold separately, availability may vary. 1 Windows Offer Details Yes, free! This upgrade...."

  The fact you didn't get a list tells me the device isn't going to be support Windows 10 or be given drivers by ASUS to support it at least.

Microsoft sent out an RTM version of Windows 10 to manufacturers before the release. The previews have also been out for a while.

I was trying to make it clear that it was sarcasm! The fix really did work for me --- no need to vote down the solution because of a joke :)

So your answer is a joke? Why use sarcasm on a site for accurate information...

@AlexTop - I don't see a solution in your answer just a bunch of commentary. If you want reputation for this answer provide more details.
