Synaptics Touchpad stops working or keeps moving itself
I am using Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413) on HP Notebook 1000. And just for reference I have encountered this issue in previous versions of Windows 10 as well. Every time I clean install Windows 10 and update to install drivers, it will work fine for about 1-2 months and then suddenly out of nowhere touchpad will either stops working or keeps moving itself after 5-10 minutes of restart ( even if I don't update Windows, means same drivers version ).
Right now I have installed version 19.3.31.16 of Synaptics pointing device drivers. But I have tried to solve this issue by installing previous version of drivers as well ( version 8.xx, 10.xx, 17.xx, 19.0.19.1 ). After installing drivers the first time it works fine for about 15 minutes and then same issue!
I have noticed this btw:
- Every time I put the laptop to sleep and then log on, touchpad works fine for about 5 minutes.
- Every time I restart the laptop, it works fine for about 5 minutes.
- Even If I uninstall the drivers and use basic drivers by Windows 10, the same thing happens. Touchpad keeps flickering, moving itself or would just stop working.
- Sometimes Upper right or left corner of touchpad will work fine while the rest of the area is unresponsive.
Have anybody else encountered this issue? How did you resolve it? I don't wanna install Windows again or keep restarting my laptop.
