Chosen Solution
I’m currently using an ASUS FX504 and when I try to follow the usual solutions, mainly using the synaptics settings, I can’t find synaptics settings anywhere. It’s not in the additional mouse settings or anywhere when i try to type and find it. I have no idea how else to fix this problem, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @jaden767 , Check in Device Manager to ensure that you have the latest touchpad drivers installed. To get to Device Manager in Win 10 from the desktop right click on the Windows Start button, left side of Taskbar, select Device Manager link from the drop down box. When Device Manager opens, scroll down to Mice and other pointing devices, click on the + symbol to expand the list and check for a touchpad hardware entry. Right click on the entry and select Properties > Driver and check the version number Here’s a link to the Asus download support page for your series laptop. Select your exact model variant and then the OS. scroll down to find the Touchpad driver download and see if it is a later version that what is installed in your laptop. If it is, download and install the updated Touchpad drivers and check if this resolves the problem. If you have problems navigating through the laptop with the touchpad when also using the keyboard, try plugging in a a USB mouse and using that until you have updated the drivers or have found another cause of the problem idf this doesn’t resolve the problem.
Sound like a setting for palm rejection to stop you accidentally moving the cursor with the track pad while typing.
