Dell Touchpad Drivers

Please note I am an individual, not Dell and not an organisation and as a consequence don't have access to all Dell Hardware to test.

Introduction

There have been numerous Touchpad issues with the release of Windows 8.x and Windows 10 primarily due to drivers…

Microsoft have addressed many of these issues and going forward Microsoft will natively support new Touchpads, so called "Precision Touchpads" which should alleviate any OEM driver issues.

For older Dell Systems (<2016 Hardware) however:

  • Windows 10 will install a generic driver from 2006 which will in most cases give the Touchpad limited functionality.
  • Although the Windows Vista/Windows 7 driver for the Touchpad is customised for the Touchpad, it often won't install properly with Windows 10 rejecting the driver and preferring its own generic one.
  • Newer driver releases, in many cases the last iteration of Windows 10 Touchpad drivers released often work with older Touchpads although they are not designed for the specific Touchpad in question.
  • In most cases the installer will reject the hardware, therefore one has to force install the Driver via the Device Manager.

This is an unofficial guide and covers a large range of hardware so unfortunately finding the best driver it is quite "experimental". Fortunately however this unofficial guide is well-reached and many Dell customers have tested and reported the best driver for their system. Please read instructions on how to forcefully install a driver via the device manager and then look below to see if a driver has been tested on your model. If your model hasn't been tested then you need to be experimental (you want to find the newest driver that works for your model).

Please comment on your findings so I can update the list at the bottom which is populated by other people's testing on their models.

Installing a Driver via the Device Manager

List of Dell Touchpad Driver Versions (by Vendor) Alps, Synaptics, Cypress and ElanTech. Alps and Synaptics are the most common vendors.

Extract the Driver

Download the suggested driver (if no driver is suggested then look at your Drivers and Downloads page and determine if the driver is Synaptics or Alps and try the latest version).

Extraction of the Driver depends on the Driver Package. For the Newer Driver Packages you should use the .exe to Extract the Driver to a specified folder. For the Older Driver Packages it is often better to use 7zip to extract the driver.

Variant A (Newer Driver Package)

Double click the driver:

16

Accept the User Account Control:

uac

Select Extract:

17

Select Downloads and make a new folder, call it Touchpad:

18
19

Select ok and then close:

20

Go to the Downloads folder and select the extracted Touchpad folder:

21

Look for the 64 Bit folder (assuming you're using 64 Bit Windows 10):

22

Select the address of the Download location and right click it then left click copy:

23

Variant B (Older Driver Package)

Note if you do not see a separate x64 or x86 and only see a .exe after extracting. You may have to further extract using a utility like 7zip (I advise 7zip version 9.20 because it works better in my testing):

25

Then you can look in the extracted folder:

26

To find the x64 folder with the drivers:

27
28

You can then copy this address like before:

29

Force Install the Driver via the Device Manager

For best results remove any USB mouse attached to the system.

Right click the Start Button and Select Device Manager:

Expand Mice and other Pointing Devices

Select "PS/2 Compatible mouse" or "Dell Touchpad" or any other similar devices and then right click and select properties:

Select the Driver tab

You will be told the driver version and date. In this case the generic 2006 Microsoft driver is used.

You can attempt to install the driver normally and then recheck the version in the Device Manager. In a large number of cases the driver will not be installed and Windows 10 will still continue to use its generic driver.

To amend this select update driver…

Select Browse my computer for driver software:

Select let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer:

Select Have Disk:

Paste in the 64 Bit extracted location then select open:

Select ok:

Left click the Dell Touchpad and select next:

Accept yes at the warning:

The driver will install:

Select close:

Select yes to restart:

Right click the Start Button and Select Device Manager:

Expand Mice and other Pointing Devices and look for Dell Touchpad. Look for an ! mark.

If no ! is present right click it and select Properties:

Select Driver. You will see the driver version of the Touchpad has now been updated:

14

If there is an ! then the driver has not taken and must be uninstalled. If the Touchpad is not-responsive or erratic you may need to plug in a USB mouse to do this.

Right click Dell Touchpad and select Uninstall:

Ensure to check "Delete the Driver Software for this Device" then select Uninstall:

Retry with an older version of the driver.

Test the Touchpad!

Right click the Start Button and select Settings:

Select Devices:

Select Touchpad:

Amend the settings to your preferences and play around with your Touchpad to see how it works and how stable it is…

I would appreciate it if you left feedback in the comments on what Touchpad driver works best for you in your system.

  1. I wasn't able to install the newest Alps driver either. Version 8.1200.101.214 worked for me. My machine is labeled D820, but BIOS says D830, and the D830 BIOS update worked. Thank you for this page!

  2. I found that the TouchPad_ALPS_8.100.2020.205_W81x64_A.zip works best with my dell latitude e6410 on windows 8.1 x64. enertia works for pointing and scrolling which is what I wanted. plus 1 finger scrolling AND 2 finger scrolling.

    1. Thanks for the feedback can you tell me where you got the driver from? I can't see that version on the Dell website but can see it on Acer and Levenos.

  3. I got version 8.1206.101.104 to install on the Dell Latitude D820. The driver version in the device manager is still at 7.102.101.223 however.

    1. Its an Alps Touchpad for that model try the latest driver at the top and check the version in the device manager after installation.

      1. sir i donwnloaded Alps Touchpad – 8.1206.101.104 – Windows 7/8.1 32/64 Bit but its not working . still my scrolling not working .

      2. sir it showing an error message while i am installing . "a problem occured installing this package"

    2. As a note, the .134 doesn't want to even run on my Win 8.1 It complains that it is incompatible while trying to install drivers after unpacking and bombs out.

      8.1200.101.134 installed fine, and works better than the windows default (treating it like a PS/2 mouse with no options), but causes occasional long freezes (2-3 seconds) where the cursor decides not to respond to the trackpad. These are intermittent and tend to occur when lots of events are firing (e.g., opening multiple tabs in a browser). Trying .214 next…

      1. Sorry, had that first one as a typo. It was the 7.102.101.224 that did not work at all on Win 8.1, at least for the installer.

  4. but sir version: 7.102.101.224 will work on windows 8.1 ? i have windows 8.1 operating system .

    1. Give it a try.

      Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are almost the same and drivers should work on both. Let me know how it goes. 🙂

      1. I don't use any online driver checking application. The drivers mentioned installed fine on my Latitude D820 which is an older model than yours.

  5. sir its very hard to install . i dont have more knowledge about this :'(
    can you sujest any online driver checking application .

  6. Hi,
    got a Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 laptop, I'm using an official Alps Dell Touchpad drivers from here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK588&fileid=2731101988
    Touchpad was always working ok on this drivers, but recently it's stopped.
    Now I'm experiencing exactly the same behaviour like you can see on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y79H00oicFE
    I've tried everything: uninstalling and reinstalling drivers (also drivers from this site), a clean install of windows, etc.
    Still no good.
    Sometimes, when i reboot my system, touchpad is working fine again but not for long.
    Does anybody got a working solution for this?

    PS. Sorry for my bad english.

  7. which driver I should download for my dell inspiron 14r-4110.?? please help.

  8. 8.1200.101.217 works perfectly with D630 and Windows 8.1 64bit. By default touch scroll is disabled. Right click on the tray icon brings up configuration that controls everything related to the touchpad and the pointing stick.

    1. Thank you, I had tried several other drivers till I saw your posting. 8.1200.101.217 worked perfectly on my Dell D630 – even though I'm running Windows 10 Technical Preview!

    2. Thank you for your post, 8.1200.101.217 worked perfectly on my D630 – even though I'm running the Windows 10 Technical Preview, Build 9860. Should there be future problems, I'll post back here.

      1. The 8.1200.101.217 still works for my Dell D630 running Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

  9. The ALP 8.1200.101.214 driver download worked for Dell Vostro 1015 Windows 8 to give basic up/down, side to side scrolling. I also tried 104,134,129 but they all failed. Thanks.

  10. I'm looking for a Synaptics driver AND software for the XPS M1330 WIN 8.1 64bit that supports 2 touch scroll and 3 touch program start-up. I have found one that almost works, but it's just to annoying and half assed as far as reliability goes(works superb in WIN 7 32bit Version 15.2.4.4 12/15/2010 (WinXP/Vista/Win7/Linux). The file name is sp51498 and is about 93mb in size..).. Super annoying that the latest driver for Synaptics own site is a no go on m1330 and WIN 8.1… Grr!!

    1. Hey Einar! You just saved me with this link. =p
      It was the only driver which really worked for my XPS 15 with Windows 8.1 installed.
      Thank you so much!

    2. Hey Einar! You just saved me with this link. =p
      This was the only driver which really worked for my XPS 15 with Windows 8.1 installed.
      Thank you so much!

    3. Thanks a lot. It is the only driver that works properly in my dell xps 15 for windows 10

    4. Oh god, man i tried hundreds of drivers. this is the only one that works properly. on my Inspiron 5558 Windows 10
      Thank you for saving my life 🙂

    5. My God, Einar, I have been searching an eternity for the driver for my Dell XPS 15 touchpad. Thanks!!!

  11. Hi. I've an Inspiron 15 3000 series and I struggle to get a driver working for the touchpad. When I try to install Synaptics software, it works but two minutes, then becomes erratic.
    Any ideas what to do, what to download ?

  12. mine is a Dell Inspiron 3521… none of the above drivers work. can I get the right one.

  13. Thank you so much for this page. I have been looking for wireless drivers and this site helped me find one to restore my wireless drivers. Good guy, thank you.

  14. Any idea which touchpad driver is appropriate for a Dell Inspiron 13 7347 (2014)? I have the Signature Edition which has a generic mouse driver installed and the MS Store guy told me if I wanted more control over its functionality I needed to get an appropriate driver.

  15. Dell Inspiron 1525 Windows 7 x64 worked with Alps 8.1200.101.214. I tried .104 first, but it wouldn't work.

  16. Hey, I have a Dell Studio XPS 1640, bought in 2010, and I recently installed Windows 8.1 with Media Center on it. I got some basic driverrs through the Windows Update, like my graphics driver, but not my touchpad driver. I tried a few drivers from the Dell website for the Windows 7 OS but those didn't have any effect. I also tried the first Synaptics Touchpad – 18.0.1 Windows 7 and 8.1 64 Bit – that you have listed but that didn't work either. I also tried to update it by searching automatically using the Device Manager. Am I doing something wrong? Can you suggest the best possible driver for my laptop?

    1. No, you aren't doing anything wrong. Going beyond the original OS is a trial and error process. I've had my D630, built in 2009 for Windows XP, for two years and it took two years of trial and error to find the 'correct' driver. I say 'correct' because there is technically no driver that fits my D630 for Windows 7 since that's an unsupported OS.

  17. Hi All,
    I've just installed "Cypress – XPS15 windows8.1" and it's work! for my DELL XPS13 with Windows 8.1(64bit) after tried so hard to resolve touchpad. (updated windows 8.1, double fingers to scrolling is doesn't work.) so, massive thanks sir. I can enjoy my XPS now. 🙂

      1. FTW, this is the driver that I got to work on my Windows 7, Home Premium on Dell D630. Hope this helps someone.

        C:\dell\Alps_Touchpad_W8_X02_A01_Setup-W71Y8_ZPE.exe

        > WordPress.com >

      2. I've also tried the "Cypress – XPS15 windows8.1" (v 2.5.3.65) on a XPS 13 L321x, and the user hasn't reported any issues so far (2 weeks now), so it -seems- like this works. I'll post an update if anything shows up. I've been trying to solve this issue with Dell ProSupport, and they where not able to figure this one out, so, thx! (I'll let them know)

        Apparently the current recommended cypress driver for the L321x on the Dell website (v 2.5.1.65) causes problems on Windows 8.1. One note: the driver download page contains no drivers for 8.1, only for 7 and 8. Strange, for a laptop that was released in the same year that windows 8.1 was released.

        We also have an XPS13 9333, and that runs fine with 8.1.

  18. 7.1209.101.217. This one worked worked for my dell inspiron 1420 win7 64 bit laptop

    1. Thanks for this reply! This one worked great as well on my Inspiron 1545!

  19. Thanks a lot !
    Alps Touchpad – 7.102.101.224 Windows 7 32/64 Bit for my Dell Latitude D520 with Windows 7

  20. Alps Touchpad – 7.1209.101.217 Windows 7 32 Bit/64 Bit worked for Dell D630 Thanks!!

  21. DELL Inspiron 17" Series 5000 (5749). Win 8.1 OEM removed and manually installed Win 7 64 bit Ultimate. Drivers download from DELL install succesfully but after reboot Synaptics error saying it stopped working.
    http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=C3XGM

    Tried from this page:
    Touchpad_Driver_Synaptics_A08_WIN7_WIN864_WIN8164-SETUP_ZPE.exe
    Same as above

    and again from this page:
    Synaptic_TP_W74_X01_A00_Setup-YKT9W_ZPE.exe
    this time working correctly but there is no option to enable secondary click with two fingers.

    Can you help please?
    Many thanks in advance.

  22. A quick note on Windows 10 pre-release / evaluation, builds 9841 and 9926. I have a Dell D810 and I was able to install without any problems or issues the Dell Alps 7.1209.101.217 touchpad driver. I have not extensively tested all of the functions of this driver as the only thing that I really use is to disable the "tap" feature. The icon on the bottom works as expected and my guess is the other functions would work as expected. So based on this, it looks like I will be able to continue to use W10 on my laptop. All other Windows features and functions (hardware specific) already were working. Thanks for the extensive list.

  23. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=5NMGT&fileId=2731127774
    for evryone who need a working touchpad driver for windows 8.1 for dell inspiron 1420, this is the working driver i have test, just download it and extract then it will say not compatible, but dont worry just extract it then go to device manager then update the touchpad driver to the folder you extract the file, it will work trust me, but before that just make sure to update the bios to a10 version, only work and tested with dell inspiron 1420, try it at your own risk, hope this helps who need it

  24. Dell inspiron 1545 running windows 8.1. Tried these all going down and 8.1200.101.217 was the most recent one to work. Hope this helps!

  25. which one suits for dell vostro 1000 windows 8.1 x64?? can it stop the cursor jumping all around the screen??

  26. the driver Synaptics Touchpad – 18.0.1 works great on my xps m1530 with Windows 8.1. even the scrolls work.
    Awesome website by the way. Thank a lot.

    1. Great, glad you have found my website useful. 🙂 Thanks for leaving a comment to let others know what version works best in that model.

  27. I have got an oldie in the form of Inspiron 1525. Just installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit and made the touchpad (ALPS version) work like a charm (up&down and side scrolling included) with the 8.1200.101.214. You just need to use the Mouse applet from under Devices and Printers menu in Control Panel to make necessary adjustments.

  28. Dell XPS 15z using the Cyprus Touchpad Driver has terrible corruption when using hdmi. I can't even use a second screen anymore

  29. On Inspiron 17 5000 (5749), Win8.1 x64 the Synaptics touchpad WORKS but settings cannot be modified in "Control Panel/Mouse/Dell Touchpad".
    I'don't see any tray-icon related to the touchpad (with driver 18.1.16)!
    This issue is still here since I bought the laptop!!!

    Not an HW issue because I've changed the touchpad but no results… I've just tried 18.1.34.34 and some older drivers by DELL but no results at all ….. Windows is up-to-date, .Net framework installed, JAVA installed.

    SOME DETAILS OF MY TRIES…:
    -"DellTPad.exe" when manually executed shows a Windows error (… program has stopped working…) on every clic above the settings buttons;
    -"DellTouchpad.exe" when manually executed remains hidden (nothing appears);
    -"DellTouchpad35.exe" when manually executed sometimes opens: I can see all the driver settings and I can modify gestures but….. NO EFFECT ON THE TOUCHPAD!
    -in control panel. the touchpad driver version is the one I've installed (18.1.16 or 18.1.34.34), not a MS Update driver, I think….
    -I've disabled Driver Sign Force option
    -I've disabled fast boot and safe boot options

    Can you help me please? 🙂

  30. Hello, first I would like to thank you, Philip Yip, for this collection of Dell computers' drivers.
    I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on Dell Inspiron 6400 or more precisely E1505 – best laptop in the universe! I've been working for 2 years without Synaptics Touchpad driver, because previous one was getting on my nerves so I've simply deleted it. But today I've decided to find a new driver.

    First I've tried with generic one, found on the official site and V18.1.34.34 for Windows 7 and 8.1 64 Bit. I installed both of them on my computer but I couldn't find where the drivers were installed. There was no sign of any modification. I tried restarting computer and I searched for any new files that should have been created, but I had no luck. Then I tried installing V16.6.13.0 for Windows 7 64 Bit and after restarting computer it started working perfectly.
    A note: Actually in version.txt file after extracting the archive, there is written that the version of the driver is 17.0.6 and in Synaptics Gesture Suite there is written that the Driver Version is 16.6.4.13 04Jun13.

    After driver was enabled I have some problems adapting from touchpad buttons to tapping feature, because when pressing a button, the poitner mow starts sliding if I'm holding my finger near the edges of touchpad. But instead I really like circular scrolling option. Everyone should check it out!

  31. Installed the "Cypress Touchpad – XPS 15x Windows 8.1" on my XPS13 L321x and it's working perfect. Thank you kind stranger!

      1. i have tried many drivers for dell e6400 on or window 8.1 pro 64bit but unable to found

    My system is Dell Vostro 1700 Win 7/64 ultimate
    This driver does the job: Alps touch pad 7.102.101.101 Windows 7 32/64 Bit

  38. Dell Latitude D520 windows 8.1 64 bit works with driver Alps Touchpad – 8.1206.101.104 – Windows 7/8.1 32/64 Bit tanks

  39. After dozens of Uninstalls, Installs and reboots….none worked for me…My system : inspiron 1525…Tried all the Alps driver, shall I try others too? Can anyone help?

    1. Try the driver 7.1007.115.102 which is the Dell Windows Vista driver for this model. As the driver was released in 2010 is should also support Windows 7 even if Dell explicitly state Windows 7 under compatible Operating Systems.

      1. Hi philpyip,

        I already tried it couple of times, but to no avail. Do I need to delete the specific registry entry and then try it?

  40. hi, i'm using dell vostro 3458 and which is the best driver that is compatible with my laptop. I couldn't figure it out and it's not working on my laptop which i preinstalled

  41. What is the best for Inspiron 5558, note that i installed the official one and it's working but with no extra features (like scroll, multi-touch, etc…)
    thanks

  42. Synaptics Touchpad – 19.15.2 Windows 10 64 Bit — not installing on vostro 3450 (Windows 10 enterprise x64). It just say installed successfully but it doesn't install actually. Plz help.

  43. Dell Precision M6500.
    After update from Win7 to Win10 driver do not work correctly.
    Which driver I can use?

    1. I'm not too sure and don't have that model, you will need to try the Synaptics versions in a bit of trial and error. Dell are unlikely to release a new driver for that model.

  44. Sir, I am confuse about suitable version for my laptop. Can you please help me to find out the right one?
    Laptop model: Dell vostro 3450
    OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (x64)
    I am facing scrolling problem on metro apps, MS edge and start menu with the version Synaptics Touchpad 15.3.2.1. It worked perfectly on windows 8.1 enterprise (x64).
    I tried some of the very latest versions from your given list but not installed.

    1. This is just a list of the Synaptics drivers from Dell, you will need to try them in a trial and error as I don't have all the Dell laptops to personally test what works.

      1. Sir, I tried all those driver. Only 14.0.2 to 16.4.0.4 version installed on my laptop. Other versions (16.6.13.0 to 19.15.2) didn't install even in compatibility mode. In the end, those drivers couldn't solve my problem. I appreciate any other option (like regedit or gpedit or something) from you to solve my problem. Thank you.

    2. I also have dell vostro 3450 with winows 10 enterprise. But non of those drivers worked for me. Everything is working except mutitouch genstures. Are you having issue with normal funcions or is it just gestures for you too.

  45. My Alps Touchpad on a Dell E6420 ATG with Windows 8.1 works well with driver version 7.1208.101.124. I Tried some newer drivers (don't remember the versions), but they didn't als well as this driver from 2011.

  46. how can I found out if the dell d830 touchpad is defect or not? I have a Dell D830 but I cannot get the touchpad working. I have already tried the original driver which is offered on the dell website: Versie 7.1.102.7,A03

    And also the driver that is mentioned as the latest driver which is confirmed to be working with this older model. 7.102.101.224

    Both did not solve the issue. In device manager, the touchpad is under the 'hidden devices'. Wich a yello exclamation mark. The problem is code 28: the device is not working properly, or not all drivers are installed.

    I would like to fix this, instead of buying another used touchpad from ebay. (I am trying to make this notebook ready for people who do not have the money to buy a computer themself.

    1. Boot to a Linux Live DVD and see if the touchpad works there. If it does its a Windows issue if it doesn't its likely defective.

    2. Alps TouchPad – 8.1200.101.217 – Windows 10 32/64 Bit Worked fo me on a D830 Windows 10 64. The scrolling wasn't working on 10.1207.101.102 – Windows 10 32/64 Bit

  47. Dell XPS 13 2012 (L321x)
    Cypress Touchpad – 5.5.1.72 Windows 10 (Dell list as 2.5.1.72) works like a dream.

    Thank you so much for saving me from installing CAB drivers myself.

    1. Same for me, XPX 13 (L321X) with Cypress Touchpad works perfectly after installation of "Cypress Touchpad – 5.5.1.72 Windows 10 (Dell list as 2.5.1.72)" (see list above). Before installation there was no pointer at all after installation of Windows 10. Thanks for the brilliant list.

  48. You are a life saver! •Cypress Touchpad – 5.5.1.72 Windows 10 works for me (XPS)

  49. Thank you so much. 7.1209.101.217 works on my Inspiron 1545 in Windows 10. When I upgraded, I lost the ability to scroll, but this driver got it back. Yay!

  50. for dell vostro 1450 model windows 10 which driver would be better for me?
    can u help me to choose the suitable driver ??

  51. Latitude E6510 – Used 8.1206.101.118. Issue was that scrolling on the right side of the touchpad didn't work out of the box with the Windows 10 update. With this driver I'm happy; the scrolling does not work the same, but now anywhere on the pad with 2 fingers. I'll get used to this. Thanks for this site.

  52. Hi,
    I have an acer gateway laptop with windows 10 in it, my question is will synaptics 19.15.2 Windows 10 64 Bit work on my laptop(since its from an other manufacturer).

    1. The latest driver that works is a bit of trial and error in Dell systems.

      For your Acer honestly I don't know as I don't have any non-Dell systems.

  53. For my DELL XPS M1330, running Windows 10 Pro final release, the "Synaptics Touchpad – 16.2.21 Windows 7 32 Bit" suits perfect even in modern apps Scrolling works like a charm.
    (…after days of testing…and many cups of coffee…)

    1.Step: If another Synaptics driver is installed, uninstall it and reboot system to get it clean!
    2.Step: Right click "setup.exe" and select "Solving compatibility problems"
    3.Step: Install version above by clicking "Test settings…" and after setup save compatibility settings and reboot your system again
    4.Step: After reboot in the settings activate h-/ and v-scrolling.
    5.Step: Enjoy!
    Good luck!

    Btw: This driver doesn't suit only Win7-32 but also Win7-64/Win8-32/Win8-64.

    1. thanks for this! works perfectly on my m1330 xps of 8 or so years 🙂

  54. hi sir,
    i have dell inspiron 15 3542 with windows 8.1… i was finding better touchpad driver for my laptop. i downloaded Synaptics Touchpad – 18.1.48.1 Windows 7 and 8.1 32/64 Bit from your website and it worked for me. thanks a lot sir 🙂

  55. Thanks for posting links to the drivers. The 10.1207.101.102 version was installed on a Latitude E5410 successfully. Manual installation, where I selected the specific driver and location ("Have Disk," etc.) was utilized (automated setup did not change driver). Alps Touchpad was hanging after Windows 10 was installed — no hanging since Alps 10.1207.101.102 driver was installed.

    1. Strange I could only get 10.1206.101.118 to install on a Latitude E5510 (I would have suspected the E5410 to be the same).

  56. This worked for me. Windows 10 Inspiron 1545. 8.1200.101.217 – Windows 10 32/64 Bit

      1. Alps 8.1200.101.217 is meant to work with Windows 10 64 Bit on that model.

        What problem do you have?

    1. Thanks I've updated the information, does 8.1206.101.115 not also work? I had it on a E5510 so would expect the E5520 to also accept it.

  57. i am not able to find touchpad driver for dell 3524 inspiron for windows 10 32bit please help

    1. E6410 Touchpad driver for win8.x, Win10.x from driver version 8 onwards has a problem… Triple step disable touchpad, pointer stick and both is not working on fn+F5. It just disables the touchpad on single step, without disabling pointer stick. Also the gui on fn+F5 is not displayed.

      Dell Windows 7 (7.1208.101.116) is working perfectly.

    2. Corroborating. Dell e6410: 64bit Alps; Version: 10.1207.101.109; Driver Date: 10/5/2015. No more lag or lack of response from touchpad. Thank you.

  58. I have DELL Insprion 15 5558 Core I5. I have problem with dell touchpad i can not update or install dell touchpad driver

  59. E6410 upgraded from 7 Pro 64 bit to 10 Pro. The ALPS 10.1207.101.102 for Win10 does not install. I am using the latest Win8 driver 8.1206.101.118 which works but scrolls slowly and jerky in Windows File Explorer.

  60. The 8.1200.101.209 – Windows 8 32/64 Bit works for my Dell Inspiron 1464 running Windows 10 Pro 64x

  61. My Dell XPS 15 (L521X) didn't recognize multi-finger gestures after upgrading to Windows 10. The update process had installed the first Synaptic driver for 64-bit Win10. I installed the second one (v.19.0.15.2), which is listed above. Everything works fine now.

  62. Inspiron 15 5547 Synaptics Touchpad driver, Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1.

    Windows Update forced an install of 19.0.15.2 which works but all the gestures are changed from what I had before, disabling the functionality I wanted. Unable to change gesture functions in this driver to what I was using. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 18.0.5.4 which had been working fine and gave me the gestures I wanted, this restored my gesture functions. The next reboot the ignorant Windows Update again installed 19.0.15.2. So now I have Touchpad with useless gesture functions. No info from Dell as to who did this, was it them? Microsoft? Synaptics? All I know is this is the most ignorant thing I have seen yet related to Windows Updates. Time to revisit Linux distros if this is what the future of Windows looks like. DO NOT TOUCH MY SETTINGS YOU IDIOTS!!!!!

  63. hi, i need your help guys, im thinking of trying out some third party driver for my trackpad (Dell 7548), in windows 10 x64 flatform, which do you think is the best? thanks in advance @philipyip

    2. do you think work
      I tried many times then he is appear but when i'm doing settings and apply it its gone

  65. When reinstalling Dell Synaptics touchpad enhancements or Dell's OEM versions has anyone else found an unsigned driver file in Device Manager keyboard driver files that is identified as "synaptics" but doesn't register when run sigverif.exe ??? Possible Keylogger or just a harmless anomaly !!

  66. Synaptics Touchpad – 15.3.2.1 Windows 7 64 Bit WORKS FOR MY DELL XPS M1330 RUNNING WINDOWS 10 PRO

  67. Vostro 3558 – I recently was given one of these that had been updated to Windows 10, and the touchpad could not be disabled. Using your site, and the drivers listed "Synaptics Touchpad – 19.15.2 Windows 10 64 Bit", I was able to get it working. But, no amount of straight installation worked. Eventually, I had to use the 'extract' option of the installer, and then manually update the driver through Device Manager. After that, it worked like a charm, and I got the missing "disable touchpad while USB mouse is connected" option I desperately needed.

    1. Great! thanks for letting me know that extraction and update via the device manager worked. I've added it to the list above.

    2. I cannot get any driver to work on my Vostro 3558. I have tried the “Synaptics Touchpad – 19.15.2 Windows 10 64 Bit” in both "INSTALL" and "EXTRACT" (with Device Manager). It just tell me the "best software for your device is already installed. The installed driver is the default PS/2 Compatible Mouse" from 2006. Any suggestions?

    1. edit : Doesn't work 🙁
      Starting to have blue screens, trying lower versions now

  68. Dell inspiron 5520 – Elantech touchpad – windows 10 64-bit – works well
    Thanks

  69. Alps Touchpad – 8.1206.101.104 – Windows 7/8.1 32/64 Bit
    Working with Dell D520 on Win10.
    Newer versions don't work.

  70. After Windows 10 upgrade on an Dell Inspiron N5010 Audio no longer works, only headphones. Help! Any solution yet? Flo

  71. On 10/6/2015 I downloaded Alps Touchpad Driver 8.1200.101.217 onto a Dell Inspiron 1764 laptop and it works like a charm. All of the old functionality … including disabling the touchpad … works perfectly. Many thanks to Philip Yip for getting me back to the performance I previously enjoyed.

  72. DELL XPS 14Z, Windows 10 64 Bit. Works with this driver.
    Synaptics Touchpad -16.6.13.0 Windows 7 64 Bit
    Thank you so much!

  73. Works great on
    Dell Latitude D630 Running Windows 10 64 bit.
    8.1200.101.217 – Windows 10 32/64 Bit

  74. After many many weeks of testing, I finally found the right Touchpad driver for my XPS Studio 1555 running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

    The "latest" driver on the Dell support site – for Windows 7 – is 14.0.2, but Dell specifically stated that the laptop is NOT tested for Windows 10

    I tried the drivers from the Synaptics website (none worked). The touchpad worked but I *really* wanted 2-finger gesture scrolling support.

    I tried versions 19.x.x, 18.x.x and 15.x.x from this website – no luck. Finally, I installed 16.6.13.0 and viola! 2-finger gesture works again! I did notice that there is a slight deal with the left mouse click button, but it's something I can live with. I'll try tweaking the settings to see if I could fix it.

  75. Glad I found this site. Running a Dell Latitude 5420A with an Alps touchpad and Windows 10 32-bit. The touchpad was sticking badly since the OS upgrade, but the Alps Touchpad – 8.1206.101.118 – Windows 7/8.1 32/64 Bit driver seems to have fixed this. Thank you so much for the page and the driver!

  76. I just discovered this site. Guess I was looking for some sort of help and/or direction just days after the Windows 10 release. Running a Latitude 5420A with an Alps touchpad. Incidentally, I used to own 2 Alps printers back 12 years or so ago. Loved them when they worked! Sort of the same deal here.

    1. Thanks for letting me know. I don't know of a Latitude 5420a, just wan to confirm do you mean a Latitude E5420?

  77. dell inspiron 3542, windows 10 pro
    device manager does not show PS/2 compatible mouse
    what to do?

  78. Thank you for the link to download the updated Cypress track pad driver for Windows 10. This one: 5.5.1.72 Windows 10 (Dell list as 2.5.1.72) (Link: http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER03187577M/1/Input_Driver_VYVMP_WN32_2.5.1.72_A00.EXE ) worked for me on my Dell XPS 13 ultrabook (2012), running Windows 10 after upgrading from Windows 7. The two-finger, three finger menus are now back! And it no longer freezes up like before.

    1. synaptics 15.3.2.1 works like a charm for xps m1330 win10 64 bit…just follow as prompted…no need for any needed procedure..thank you

  79. Thank you very much!!!
    It worked with my Inspiron 1464 – Windows 10 64 Bit.
    Easily download the file and lauch it. Restart (and wait) and the issue is solved.

  80. Hi,

    I have the XPS 15 9530, the latest Synaptic drivers (Synaptics Touchpad – 19.15.2 Windows 10 64 Bit) work but not without problems. If I put the laptop to sleep, the Windows 10 gestures not longer work like their suppose to. For instance, 3 finger swipe up no longer brings up Task View, it instead brings up cortana! Only way to resolve this is by rebooting. I'm grateful for anyone with a solution.

      1. Hi, I'm davide and I'm from italy… I've got the new xps 13 9350 and I performed a clean install of windows with no hassle thanks to your guide. the problem is: this machine has the new NVMe PCIe ssd technology and a sigle slot for ssd, the bios set the sata operation by default on RAID but I'm not sure this is the best way to get the most out of the new technology. In fact now I have very bad write performance, far less good then samsung official benchmarks. I also read about disabling the cache flushing option in device policy, but is it a safe move?
        and is letting windows update the drivers by himself after the clean install a good thing or will I loose some functionality or performance?

  81. I have the dell 15R 7520 with touchpad v15.3.0.14 installed. It worked for some time after which the erratic behavior started showing up. So I tried installing older versions(v11.3.10.2/ v11.3.15.4) Both works but gives the same problem after sometime. Can anyone suggest me the proper driver for my laptop? I am running windows 10 home single language.
    P.S – Now I can't even install the latest version touchpad(v15.3.0.14). An error pops up saying that the update installer operation was unsuccesfull.

    1. There has been some feedback that the newer drivers are not installing correctly (even on supported systems). You may need to do some advanced installation of the newer drivers, follow the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy5sdukBhyo
      Try this with the newest version first 19.15.2 and then 19.0.9.4.

  82. Works on XPS 17 L702X using RedDragon's video as a guide. Windows 10 X64. Synaptics 19.0.15.2 using extract from download and update driver via Have disk method.

  83. Finally works scroll in Metro aplicatons and Edge, for Dell Vostro 3300!!! Is necessary have old Dell driver (15.1.2.3 for me) installed, not only Microsoft universal PS/2 driver. Touchpad works, but no scroll in system, Metro apps, Edge. Then download new Dell driver (19.0.15.2). x86 version I used after unpacking archive. No uninstall old Dell driver!!! Only install new driver from Device manager, manually put from Disk. After reboot, configure Dell touchpad. Still no scroll only one finger, but perfectly scroll with two fingers. After many months it works! Thanks for this webpage.

  84. For admin, repair please your comment: Vostro 3300 not 3330. And 32bit Win10, not 64 bit.

  85. I was using synaptics version 19.0.9.4 for windows 10 for my DELL XPS 15 L521X, but the curse kept freezing constantly. So I installed synaptics version 19.0.15.2

      1. Nope, re-tried it just for you, and no joy. The one listed above is the only one I can get to work. If you do find a more up to date one which will work please let me know. thanks 🙂

    1. As I state at the top this is a list of drivers and I do not have every single Dell model to test with. So the updated driver may or may not work 100 % correctly. No-ones left feedback for that model yet.

  86. Dell Inspiron E1505 (may apply to Inspiron 6400 also) running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. The only driver I've found that restores scroll functionality is "Synaptics TouchPad, v.13.2.2.2, A01" from file R230390.exe (07 Jul 2012). Still not able to open the Synaptics "Dell TouchPad Settings" utility to fine-tune it, but I can finally scroll again! You can download R230390.exe from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=6RTR8 (direct: http://downloads.dell.com/input/R230390.exe)

  87. For Studio 1747, successfully installed latest Synaptics v 19.0.19.1 by downloading the PS2/SMBus package from the Synaptics website, unzipping it, and manually selecting the "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad" device driver from "Update Driver" in Device Manager. This worked great even though it warned that it was not listed as compatible (due to the different Dell-specific Device ID). This gave me the best functionality (including two-fingered tapping) compared to previous versions. Confident it should work too for Studio 1745, possibly for other Studio laptops, and hopefully for other Dell Synaptics models.

  88. hi everybody

    i made these instructions from various places for myself and hopefully will help you

    firstly get the generic driver from synaptics or dell ect

    then go to device manager and go to the ps2 mouse and uninstall previous driver

    1) Extract the files to another folder

    2) Open the folder with extracted files copy the path of the x64 drivers

    3) Go to Control PanelDevice ManagerMice and other pointing devices

    4) Right click mice and other pointing devices, select Update Driver

    browse the computer

    then select HAVE DISK VERY IMPORTANT

    5) Add the x64 drivers path

    6) Select Dell Touchpad or synaptics

    7) Install drivers

    8) Restart
    ——————————————————————-

    but it probably wont work so

    so see here http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/help-needed-to-mod-a-generic-synaptics-driver-to-work-with-the-dell-xps-13-9343-will-gladly-pay.775614/page-2

    and here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/microsoft-precision-touchpad-not-very-precise/ca01bc04-0db7-4241-bff9-192cfb5af012?page=2&auth=1

    So what you need to do is:
    1. Disable PTP drivers
    2. Install generic drivers (force way)

    1. Disabling PTP drivers:
    Go to device manager and locate "Human interface devices" node (node means the little arrow which expands). Locate "HID-compliant touch pad" item and disable it. (To make sure, you may open device properties and on Details tab, in the dropdown go to Hardware IDs property will have this line HID_DEVICE_UP:000D_U:0005 – this is how TPT reports itself). (with mine i had a 4 instead of a 5
    Now, in the same node, disable "I2C HID Device" item.
    Done. PTP is dead.
    the mouse wont work so use touchscreen
    (i cant remember if i did a reboot here or not)

    2. Installing generic Synaptics drivers:
    Download generic Synaptics driver here: http://synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
    In device manager, go to "Mice and other pointing devices" node and locate your touchpad disguised as "PS/2 mouse". Select "Update driver" from context menu and make it hard way: "Browse my PC" – "Let me pick it myself" – "Have disk" – point to folder where you have unpacked downloaded driver into (x64 subfolder, to be precise). Windows will say that driver is not compatible. That's a lie. Press Yes. Reboot. You're on generic driver now. Scroll and 2/3/4-finger gestures are at your disposal.

    During phase #2 Windows may complain about missing digital signature at driver's package (Synaptics' fault). There are 2 ways to circumvent it:
    1. Disable driver signature enforcement (just google this whole phrase). This is easy but potentially creates security risk as from now any unsigned driver can be installed to the system.
    2. Sign it with a valid certificate if you have one (also requires installed WDK).
    I did mine by signing .inf file with my company's certificate, but I'm not sure if I can redistribute it.

    From my experience, precision of generic driver is inferior to PTP, but it's free of PTP bugs and offers all extended features Synaptics has to offer. Or maybe it just requires tweaking (it has so many parameters).

    ——————————————————————————————-

    now for chirascroll do this

    Requires use of regedit

    Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPCpl\Controls\03TabScroll\ 4OneFEdgeScrollChiralInfoText\ and inside the other window there will be a key called visibility

    also do this for Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPCpl\Controls\03TabScroll\ 4OneFEdgeScrollChiralCheckBox\ and inside the other window there will be a key called visibility

    Find the items and

    Change the Visibility key of both from 4 to 0

    Open the Synaptics control panel, go to scroll tab, it will have appeared

    —————————————————————————————————-

    finally mess around with

    If you want to tweak the settings for the three mouse-speed settings (MouseSpeed, MouseThreshold1, and MouseThreshold2), launch the registry editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse\.

    Along with a few other settings, you'll see the three mouse-speed values in the right panel. Mouse-Speed is a multiplier that is set from 0 (always run at the basic speed) to 2 (multiply the calculated speed by 4). MouseThreshold1 indicates the number of pixels you must move the mouse between interrupts to automatically double the basic speed (unless MouseSpeed is not set to 0). By default, MouseThreshold1 ranges from 0 (do not introduce speed-doubling) to 10 pixels, but you can set its value to higher than 10 if you like. Setting the value closer to 1 makes Windows introduce speed-doubling sooner, which causes your pointer to pick up speed.

    The last of the three pointer values, MouseThreshold2, behaves like MouseThreshold1 except that it causes Windows to again double the mouse's speed.

    but i am not sure if it makes a difference
    i have tested it and i dont think it makes any difference

    —————————————————————————————–
    BUT here is what i did and it does work!

    i downloaded a program called regshot which is free and it compares the registry before you make a change and after you make a change (there are probably other programs as well but i found this the simplest of the lot)

    i then changed the mouse speed in the synaptics driver. i then used the reg compare and it directed me to a folder in the registry hkey current usere/software/synaptics/syntp/touchpadps2tm3014/pointermotionspeed

    edit the speed to a higher number such as 300 instead of 190

    i could not find this in the default windows program called regedit but i downloaded a program called registrar registry manager which shows a lot more than regedit and you can edit it there

    you can use this method to find the appropriate registry key to edit for whatever you wish

    i am no computer expert and accept no responsibility for these methods but hope you have enjoyed hacking and credit to the forums which got me this far

    regards

    1. Thank you for your information.
      I could install synaptics driver to dell inspiron 7568(2in1) and , utility softwares worked perfectly(newtonpad , strokes plus , two-finger-scroll).

      1. Great glad it helped! I added your note to the list. I am assuming version 19.0.27.3 and Windows 10 64 Bit (TH2)?

  89. Yay! I have two and three-finger swiping back finally! Thank you for your hard work putting this together. I was beating this up with the reference drivers and getting nowhere. I hadn't thought to scour Dell for their various versions. Awesome. Anyway…

    Inspiron 15 N5010: 19.0.15.2 works with a manual install and not the self install. None of the v19s worked with self install. Did not bother trying earlier versions.

    BTW, this page is broken on Chrome. It loads over and over and over… until you hit the stop button at the right time. Works on Firefox.

  90. Hi, First of all, great guide, thank you.
    Tried the Alps Alps touchpad, v7.4.102.102,A02 for Dell Vostro 1520, and worked like a charm.

    1. It will be an Alps Touchpad. Dell listed version 8.1200.101.127 as compatible with Windows 8/8.1. You can try this with Windows 10 also.

      You may also try the latest Alps Touchpad driver following the instructions on this page if you do let me know how it works out for you.

  91. The driver 19.0.9.4 works with the inspiron 5448 BUT the dell touchpad panel is not accessible for configuration nor the double tap works. Its shitty because the functional drivers dell provides works with windows 8.1 gestures (which work also in windows 10 but the task view is not available (in the gestures))

    What works in 19.0.9.4: task view, minimize, scroll, back/forfh navigation gestures.

    What doesnt work in 19.0.9.4: double finger tap for right click, call action center, access and configure dell touchpad app

    This is for inspiron 5448

    1. Its got a Synaptics Touchpad, Dell list 19.0.9.4 as compatible but there are some reports that it might not install correctly so you may need to manually install it. I would try with the latest Synaptics Driver first and if it doesn't work as expected try 19.0.9.4.

    1. Thanks for reporting your findings. I've added it to the list. I expect it will be similar for the Vostro 1520 also. 🙂

  92. This worked great for me! I have a Dell Inspiron 5523 with Windows 10 installed. I recently lost touch scroll capabilities, so I installed the latest Synaptics driver, and my touch pad works fine now.

  93. Thanks so much for this guide. Manually updating the driver to the Synaptics 19.0.19.1 Windows 10 64-bit driver worked on my Inspiron 11 3000 2-in1 Series Special Edition (3152). The 19.0.15.15 driver from Dell's website didn't work.

  94. Mice and other pointing device doesnot appears in device manager

    1. What is the model of Dell and the operating system. If its not showing at all? Does it work in the BIOS setup?

  95. Many thanks for this information. Well done for finding it all!

    I can confirm that the Windows 10 Alps touchpad driver does work for Dell Latitude E6420. It seems much better than the previous drivers, so well worth updating. (10.1207.101.109)

    1. Thanks was wondering how the Touchpad fared with that model with Windows 10. I only used that system for a little while near the release of Windows 8.

  96. dear philip,

    i have an inspiron 3421.
    i downloaded the latest synaptics driver file suggested by you and then extracted it to a folder. As it had an exe file, instead of any x64 folder, i used 7z to further extract that file (Synaptics_v19_0_27_9__C__x64__Win7_Win8_Win81_Win10__Signed__MUP__DellWPF_RMIHID).
    but even this extratced folder didnot have any folders – none at all, only files – so, i used this folder in my selection for the force install.
    following your instructions, i found that there were 2 devices showing up under 'select the device driver you want to install for this hardware' – "dell touchpad" and "touchpad" – and so i selected 'dell touchpad' and completed the install.

    on restarting i found that the touchpad was not working at all, and had to use a mouse.
    and the device manager showed 'dell touchpad', but with a yellow traingle.
    so, i checked the 'properties'. this is what it said under device status:

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    The specified request is not a valid operation for the target device

    what do you suggest?

    thank you.

    1. Right click it and select uninstall it in the Device Manager… You can double click the .exe and select Extract… as shown in the guide.

      If the driver still doesn't work try the earlier versions (next latest version) of the Synaptics Touchpad.

      1. i don't know what happened… but now i have the touchpad showing up as dell touchpad. and the weird thing is, the version shows up as 19.0.9.4.
        now, how did that happen? as i think, the file i was using was for version 19.027.9, correct?
        i am stumped.

      2. like i mentioned before, philip… mysteriously, the input driver that has loaded is version 19.0.9.4.

        i thought of reinstalling that to ensure everything is perfect. but when i checked dell downloads, the download file is different (0CDNN_WN32_19.0.9.4_A00), while when i checked the 19.0.9.4 file mentioned by you in this post is different (CN4KX_WN32_19.0.9.4_A00)

        dell mentions that the file you suggested above (under synaptics downloads) is for Inspiron 3442/3542/5748/3458/3558 .

        these are the pages for the file you suggest, and the one dell suggests for 3421:

        what do you suggest?
        your reply will be valuable, as i want to reinstall the win10 from scratch and install the correct drivers now that i have found which are working.

        thanks

      3. Biren this is one of the things which needs to be tested specifically for each model… If your Touchpad works well and shows as Dell Touchpad in the Device manager then you definitely have the correct driver and since both are the same version its likely the same driver. The main issue is that many Dell drivers weren't installing correctly which is why I instructed to force install the driver which works in most cases.

      4. it seems i was not very clear, philip. maybe because i am writing so many comments it is difficult for you to follow my thread. 🙂
        the dell touchpad driver that i installed was the latest one you suggested originally – version 19.0.27.9.
        it did not work – a yellow triangle showed up in device manager.
        then, after a few restarts (as i was installing other drivers), i suddenly found the yellow triangle had gone. when i checked the version, it was 19.0.9.4 instead of 19.0.27.9 that i had used. i am stumped at how the 19.0.9.4 got there – and i was asking you if you could maybe solve this mystery for me 🙂

        the other thing i wanted to know was… that since 19.0.9.4 did get installed and working… i thought i would use the actual 19.0.9.4 file to reinstall that driver.
        but i found there were 2 files for version 19.0.9.4 – one mentioned in dell downloads, the other mentioned by you in this article above.
        i visited the pages of these 2 files for 19.0.9.4 on dell site. they are:
        for the file you suggest above, the page is:
        http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=CN4KX

        the page for the file i searched for on dell site for 3421 is this:
        http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=0CDNN

        i wanted to know if you can tell me which of these files do i use to download 19.0.9.4.

        also… is there a way to keep my windows installation clean when i keep installing and uninstalling all these drivers? i am worried – will it bloat my windows with digital debry?

        thank you, philip.

        once i have a perfectly working setup with all the drivers installed, i will let you know here – just in case it might help others.
        if you want me to experiment and try something, do let me know.

        regards

      5. Windows 10 Update sometimes automatically installs drivers in the background… its possible that it installed the Touchpad driver by itself.

        At the moment there is no point in performing a clean install again… Installing some drivers twice won't influence the performance much. Just get it up and running so everything works. Then use it as is for a couple of weeks…

        On the 2nd of August Windows 10 RS1 will be out so that would be a far better convenient time to clean install with up to date installation media.

        i.e. a clean install now will upgrade in about 2 weeks and the upgrade install of the new Windows 10 build will leave a lot more digital derby than installing a touchpad driver twice.

  97. Thanks for this excellent site.
    The hardware I had problems with is Dell Latitude E6510, with Alps touchpad. Re-purposed work laptop, from 2011, I think it came with Win7. I upgraded to Win 10. The Win 10 installation picked 8.1206.101.112, which was next to useless. Jerky movement, freezes then big jumps, etc.
    I tried several drivers, 8.1206.101.109 and 104 were a bit better, but far from good.
    The solution for the Dell Latitude E6510 was 8.1200.230 dated 2009.11.22.

  98. philip,
    here are the results of my experiment (i have inspiron 3421 with synaptics touchpad):
    since i was ready to clean install win10 RS1, i thought, i would use my present setup of win10TH2 to experiment with the touchpads.

    i used the following 4 driver files:
    1. Input_Driver_WP72P_WN32_19.0.27.9_A01 (suggested by you in above article)

    2. input_Driver_CN4KX_WN32_19.0.9.4_A00 (suggested by you in the above article)

    3. input_Driver_0CDNN_WN32_19.0.9.4_A00 (suggested in dell downloads for inspiron 3421)

    4. Touchpad_Driver_756GC_WN64_19.0.15.2_A00 (suggested by you in above article)

    Every time i was installing a new driver, i ensured that the previous one was uninstalled fully and perfectly, bringing back the PS2 driver version of 2006, as included in windows 10 originally.

    first i tried 19.0.27.9 – did not work – there was no functionality at all. (msg – 'this device cannot start. code 10')

    then i tried the version 19.0.9.4 file suggested by you – did not work.

    then i tried the same version 19.0.9.4, using the file available in dell downloads for 3421 – the touchpad was working. since i don't know all the functions that should be working, i can't say if this was working fully and perfectly, but the basic functions were ok. i also tried the 2-finger scrolling on webpages – that was also working.

    then i tried 19.0.15.2 – this worked too.
    since i don't know which functions to check, i can't say if the touchpad worked better with 19.0.9.4 or 19.0.15.2 – for me, both seem same.

    hope this helps.

    now, i will try the same sequence as above, after i clean install win10 RS1.
    will let you know the results.

    thanks, and warm regards

    1. Many thanks. I followed your article and installed Synaptics Touchpad driver 19.0.15.2 on my Dell Inspiron N5010 and now the touchpad scroll function is available in windows 10 Edge browser also. Earlier, scrolling was working only in IE11, Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi. Thanks again.
      H.P.Agrawal

      1. Great, strange that it only didn't work before in the Edge Browser… Thanks for confirming that this version works best for you.

  99. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Silly thing that costs so much time… Dell Vostro v131 with Synaptics on board. Tried many options but 18.1.48.1 finally worked. Got two finger scroll back!

    Weird thing is, this scroll does not work in OS windows like mouse options. Other program windows (browsers, notepad) scroll correctly.

    Installed as Dell Touchpad, not as a Synaptics device, so in mouse options there is Dell Touchpad tab opening Dell Touchpad options, not the Synaptics one.

  100. Thank you so much…the instructions were very organised .. it really helped me install my touchpad..I m happy Thanx a lot

  101. I really dont know What to do anymore. I have a Inspiron n5110 which is Alps and I've tried nearly all the drivers. the problem with mine is that it suddenly starts to lag then stops completly. I have stop using it for a while for it to work again. Restarting it doesnt work either.

      1. Yeah I've done it. I dont know if thats the problem… I'll try again. I noticed it stops working when I'm using the computer for a long time and its hot, but I'm completely convinced if its actually hardware because this didint happen before windows 10.

  102. I have a Dell L501X laptop and, as recommended above, Synaptics driver version 19.0.15.2 works perfectly – or at least it did until a recent W10 update reverted my machine to the useless Microsoft generic touch pad driver requiring me to go through the driver installation again – how irritating Microsoft is.

    Thanks so much for your diligent support – I wish Microsoft / Dell were half as conscientious!

    1. Probably you installed the Anniversary Update which is essentially an OS Upgrade install i.e. a new build of Windows 10. You can leave feedback to Microsoft in their Windows Feedback App.

  103. Anyone find a driver to work with 64 bit Windows 10 and the Synaptics Touchpad for m1330 dell xps.

      1. I tried those drivers and it made the mouse functions glitchy and clicking didn't work correctly and still no scrolling functions.

    1. For my DELL XPS M1330, running Windows 10 Pro final release, the “Synaptics Touchpad – 16.2.21 Windows 7 32 Bit” suits perfect even in modern apps scrolling works like a charm.
      (…after days of testing…and many cups of coffee…)

      1.Step: If another Synaptics driver is installed, uninstall it and reboot system to get it clean!
      2.Step: Right click “setup.exe” and select “Solving compatibility problems”
      3.Step: Install version above by clicking “Test settings…” and after setup save compatibility settings and reboot your system again
      4.Step: After reboot in the settings activate h-/ and v-scrolling.
      5.Step: Enjoy!
      Good luck!

      Btw: This driver doesn’t suit only Win7-32 but also Win7-64/Win8-32/Win8-64/Win10-64.

  104. L321x Windows 10 x64 here. Multitouch does not work on 2.5.3.72, where it does work on 2.5.1.72. Left click and right click work on 3.72 and no errors in device manager, but there is no cypress tab under control panel -> mouse or display icon in task bar or customizable settings from the display icon program.

  105. I have Dell Inspiron N 5010 Laptop. Dell has not tasted this for Windows 10, however, I installed and this has been updated further by the Anniversary update. On this laptop Scroll function of the Synaptics TouchPad does not work in Edge browser or any of the Apps available on the windows store. The TouchPad functions excellent in IE11, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and also Vivaldi on the same laptop. Earlier I had installed driver 19.0.15.2 on 22.8.16. This enabled its functionality in Edge browser as well as all the apps. However, the touchpad function was not stable. A single click will result into multiple pages opening and therefore, I reinstalled the original Driver i.e. 15.0.0.1 ( released 23.12.2009). I wonder why the scroll function is not working in Edge browser and related applications.

  107. hi there. how do I re-enable circular scrolling on dell trackpad to work in windows 10pro. like it use to work on windows 7pro. have Tried all latestest drivers they all work. but just dont have access to circular scrolling or one finger scrolling in the dell pointing devices software? like it use to have in windows 7. dell latitude e6530

      1. Can you be able to collect all the Dell Touchpad Firmware as well? I have no way to find the newest firmware for XPS 13 9360. Right now, Im having problem with my touchpad, the firmware I have poorly chosen to flash was not compatible with this touchpad. Its dead and unusable at present, no matter what drivers I tried to install. Also, under device manager or control panel–mouse, it was not shown on both of them.
        If you have access to the newest firmware, please let me know. Great thanks in advance!

      2. This is drivers only, I've no intent to list firmware as it should be system specific and if its not it could brick touchpads its not intended for (like I guess you discovered). I don't have newer firmware than Dell list and Dell don't list any touchpad firmware for this model.

  108. Inspiron 1420 running on Win10Pro 64-bit. Alps 8.1200.101.209 gave the scroll functionality back.

  109. Cypress Touchpad 2.5.3.72 Windows 10 64 Bit driver works on XPS 15z (L511z). Thanks!!! after instalation I needed set up 3 and 4 fingers multitouch functions

  110. I have not been able to find a touchpad driver for Dell N 5010 . The driver installed is Synaptics 15.0.0.1. Scroll function does not work in Edge browser and Windows 10 apps. I have upgraded to Anniversary update also. Scroll works in IE11.

  111. i just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH, i got my l502x working by following your install instructions with a specific synaptic driver

  112. the newest Alps driver listed ("Alps Touchpad – 10.1207.101.113") links to a Logitech Unity device driver (a universal wireless mouse hub, i think). The 'newest Alps driver' link embedded in the text links to the same non-Alps file, too.

  113. Cypress Touchpad – 2.5.3.72 Windows 10 64 Bit XPS 15z (L511z) and XPS 13 L322x. Please let me know if you test on the XPS 13 L321x.

    Early results on the L321x are looking good!
    I have multitouch, pinch zoom, etc… and the trackpad seems more responsive.

    1. Interesting I had an earlier comment saying it didn't work. Let me know how if it still works well after some extended use. 🙂

  114. Works fine on Vostro 3700 and Win10 64Bit
    Synaptics Touchpad – 19.0.15.2 Windows 7/10 32/64 Bit

  115. Can confirm that Alps vers 8.1200.101.217 works perfectly on Dell Latitude D630 running Win 10 , 64 Bit. Has returned touchpad scroll functionality.

    Many thanks!

  116. Thank you for your Guide, it works great.
    I had issues with my Touchpad, sometimes it generates additional characters in the applications or just does not work for a few seconds after changing a window.

    So far it seems to work without any problems, my Hardware for Reference and the Alps driver I downloaded:

    Dell Precision M6600
    Alps 10.1207.101.113 Windows 7/8.1/10 32/64 Bit

    1. This is regarding Synaptics Touch Pad issue on Dell Inspiron N 5010. Only today windows update services automatically updated the old Driver with a new one release no. 19.2.17.55. This installation has solved the scroll function of the Touch Pad. I was facing this difficulty since I upgraded to Windows 10. Earlier scroll function was not working in Edge Browser and any of the the apps offered by Windows 10 although it was working in Opera, Chrome, and also IE11.
      Thanks to Synaptics and Windows Autoupdate system for addressing the problem of so many N5010 laptop users.

      1. Thanks for writing to let me know that Windows Update is getting on board with the touchpads. I assume you are using the version 1703 build 15063 RS2 of Windows 10.

  117. Thanks. I am using windows 10 Home version 1607 build 14394.969

  118. Inspiron 9400 (Synaptic v15.3.45.91) Installed and ran successfully in Windows 7 Professional x64). Default settings are horrid though. Disable the palm detection before anything else. I'm successfully using multi-touch gestures (2 and 3 finger gestures), and also edge detection.

    I've no plan at present, to upgrade it to Windows 10, but if I do – I'll try to remember to report back here.

  119. Philip, I just want to say first of all, a big Thank You for the incredible amount of time and expertise you have put into this website. It has been a big help to me. I know you're also a 'Rock Star' at Dell, and I would add the title 'Tech Support Saint' for all the people you have saved from PC Hell!

    I'm wondering if you, or anyone else reading this happens to know what make of touchpad was put into the Inspiron 1520?

    1. Problem Solved! I read your instructions more carefully, got the original Dell driver, extracted it, and found out that it's a Synaptics touchpad. Thanks again for all your good work.

      1. The driver that Dell released supported the Inspiron 1318, Inspiron 1520, Precision M6300, Vostro 1000, Vostro 1500, XPS M1330 and XPS M1730.

        The XPS M1330 is reported to work successfully with the Synaptics 15.3.2.1 driver and Windows 7 64 Bit (probably also Windows 10 64 Bit). Newer Synaptic versions may also work.

  120. Hi Philip,
    I am running Windows 10 64-bit on the Inspiron 1520. I had tried some of the newer Synaptics drivers and couldn't get any of them to install. After reading your reply, I tried the Synaptics 15.3.2.1 driver, and it worked! So thanks again, you are the best!

    1. Philip,
      I have a Dell Inspiron N5010. The update driver Synaptics 19.0.15.2 – Windows 10 64 bit did not solve my scrolling problem. I attempted to use the latest Synaptics Touchpad driver 19.0.27.9 Windows7/10 64 bit, but I could not get it to install. I cannot see where to find the 64 bit information in the folder files. I am having the same problem finding the 64 bit information in the Synaptics driver files 19.0.27.3 and 19.0.9.6. I need this to add to the address of the download location. Can you provide help in locating this information?

  121. I have clean installed Windows 10 Creator's Update (1703) on a Studio 1558 Memory: 8GB; CPU: i7-720QM, Chipset: HM55; Wireless: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN; Display: AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5470. I used the "touchpad_synaptics_w84_x10_a02_setup-nvcd2_zpe" for the Touchpad. I tried the Synaptics – 19.0.27.9, 19.0.27.3, 19.0.19.1 and the Dell 16.6.13.0. I ended up using the Dell 16.2.10.3 as the Touchpad seems to work the best. The first two Synaptics drivers caused a complete loss of the Touchpad. Good thing I remembered the keyboard shortcuts for shutting down (Alt+F4). Otherwise, I would have had to do a hard reboot. The Generic Synaptics and the Dell 16.6.13.0 drivers worked, but, there were issues when trying to copy and paste. Unfortunately, I cannot remember or find how I came up with the Dell 16.2.10.3 driver file. I'll keep looking. It came off the Dell ftp site. I saved all the links but there are over 50 of them. I'll post the complete install order and driver name/version used, under the "Driver Sets". Thank you Philip, for your VALUABLE documentation!!!! I would have never figured this out on my own.

  122. Thank you for this information! I have a Dell Adamo 13 with W10 Home version 1703 64 bit. I tried synaptics ver. 15.3.2.1 which worked with your installation instructions, but would not scroll in Edge and other Windows apps. I then installed ver. 19,0.15.2 the same way as before (after uninstalling the older version) and now I have two finger scrolling in everything! Much appreciated.

  123. Thank you for the post!
    I hava a Dell Latitude 6430u, which originally came with Windows 7 Pro. When updating to Windows 10 the touchpad started to bad functioning: Driver 10.1207.101.103 was installed and right click was not functioning, left click acted as right click, not click on pad neither scrolling. I've tried the first 17 Alps drivers listed above with the following results:
    8.1200.101.218
    8.1200.101.217
    8.1200.101.214
    8.1200.101.209
    Almost good – Left click and pad clicking work ok, but left click and scrolling are still not functioning.
    10.1207.101.110
    10.1207.101.109
    10.1207.101.102
    8.1206.101.118
    8.1206.101.115
    8.1206.101.112
    8.1206.101.110
    8.1206.101.109
    8.1206.101.104
    8.1200.101.218 W10
    8.1200.101.134
    8.1200.101.129
    Bad functioning: Equal as driver 10.1207.101.103 after the update

    I kept 8.1200.101.218 installed but I hope someone else could find a workaround for this issue.

    Anyway, thank you again for your help. You gave me a bit of hope for a while.

    1. It seems a little strange even the basic Windows inbuilt driver should give base functionality. I think you might have some hardware fault (opposed to an OS fault). It may be worth trying to reseat the touchpad to the motherboard.

      1. Hi Philip, thank you for you reply.
        It does not seem to be a hardware failure because of the following:
        * When you press right button, it is showed as pressed on the icon of the touchpad which appears on the right side of the windows taskbar.
        * It was working perfectly with Windows 7 until the update to Windows 10

        So it seems to be a weird driver issue, but thank you again for your time and your willingness.

  124. Once again, the good Doctor has provided me with the cure after Dell's customary failure to do so. It seemed as if I had no choice but to permit the download of software I already have after it became clear it was the only way either of us was going to get what we wanted. The resulting scan, I was told, "…might take a few moments." Not a hard + fast term in actual meaning but it suggests you might be facing a wait of a duration not widely considered to be long. The British rationale would commonly interpret it as, 'I'll put the kettle on!'.
    No one would expect that 2+ hours later those 'few moments' would still be counting down, but that's what happened, I'd still be waiting now if I hadn't bailed out! There was no, 'Sorry, scan has failed…', well, I'm sorry that I've been consistently let down by Dell Support + now, for the 3rd time(?) one of Doc Yip's spot on, idiot-proof (a personally approved rating) guides has solved my problem, just in the nick of tim, too. If I had to put up with the cursor moving when my palm brushes the touchpad when I type, for much longer, I would have done something regrettable, to me most likely, to someone, anyway, I'm sure…….
    The service these guides provide are of great value to many people + the public spirit exhibited by the effort put into providing them is a true measure of the man, he deserves a medal!
    These guides are just what the Doctor ordered, you might say?!?………
    Sincerely thankful,
    Ricky Dickson

  125. Thanks for the wonderful website! After a windows 10 update, my touchpad driver got rolled back, and I had to scramble to find something functional again. Luckily, with your site, I was able to locate a functional driver. I have a laptop that isn't listed above, so I'd like to share my experience:

    Dell Inspiron N4110
    Windows 10 v1703 for 64 bit
    Synaptics Touchpad – 17.0.11.1 Windows 8.1 64 Bit

    Thank you!

  126. Dell 11z 1110 – tried with both (32bit) Anniv and Creat: It has an Elan SmartPad (which is a pretty appalling thing but we are where we are). Basically none of the Dell offerings worked properly (or at all in some cases) – the Dell "utilities" are also pretty bad – but there is what is more or less an Elan generic driver (i.e. no "Asus" utilities) for Win 7 32bit (and also Win 7 64bit – but I have not tested that) available on the Asus website (they used Elan on a number of their laptops). Worked fine by manual install (update) of the driver and I can configure the Elan Smartpad to do what I wanted (which is what I have been doing under XP). Specifically I needed to configure 2 finger tap to be the pop-up menu (=right click) because this pad has no buttons and is unusable without this. This driver has the familiar Elan tab in settings from which all things can be adjusted – never found a way of doing this with any of the Dell utilities. Links are:

    http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Drivers/Touchpad/Touchpad_Elantech_WIN7_64_7057.zip
    If you are having issues with Dell drivers/utilities this might be a simple fix.

      1. Philip, please note that it is the 32bit I have tested not the 64bit (although I think this should work fine). Regards

  127. Seems that Dell decided not to support XPS L702X, so I was left swaying in the wind, literally. I want to say everything did not seem to function, generally a word far too often used in every life situation, suggesting all, excluding nothing, is the problem. You can pick the category that everything can apply to. I never lost hope that I would find some resolve. In a google search I was fortunate to find your web page. Although I have to say I was skeptical to start off with. This driver I have been struggling with is from Synaptics main web page. Synaptics Touchpad – V 17.0.19.0 XP 32 Bit, Vista 32 Bit, Vista 64 Bit, Windows 7 32 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit, although it's not listed on your site, it was my starting point. Followed your instructions, now have very smooth functionality. (without rotation, pinching or scrolling ability) Yet, so pleased that I have control without need of bullying my touchpad. Finally a step forward. Thanks to you, Dr Philip Yip, I have the resources you have painstakingly put together, which I hope will allow me to take leaps and bounds. btw, may I ask you how long it took you to get to this point on your site?

  128. I have been using Windows 10 64bit on my Inspiron N5010 for almost a year. About a month ago the cursor began creeping back to the top after it was scrolled down. I presume that the touchpad driver has been changed. I tried reinstalling various Synaptics touchpad drivers without success in solving this creeping problem. If anyone has this laptop and is not experiencing a scrolling issue, could they notify me what Synaptics touchpad driver is installed on their maching?

  129. XPS L702x – Windows 7.1 64 Bit Tested by Mark H Belanger Synaptics 19.0.15.2 (Manual Install via the Device Manager) seems great on initial restart, then problems. I will continue till I find best fit for me.

  130. I tested It for my vostro 1320 and it worked realy well. I'm greatly thankful. It was a relief. The version I tested was Alps 7.4.102.104. the newer versions didn,t work for me.

    1. Thanks for letting me know. I would of thought they versions would have worked. I have updated the guide. Thanks.

  131. hi philip, thank you so mutch. I tried many other reviews to solve the problem with touchpad. All this dosn't work. I tried first with version 19.0.27.9. It dosn't work. With 19.0.15.2 it works well. Weird…

      1. Thank you Philip!
        I`m try installed some Alps drivers on my Inspiron 1525 with Windows 10 64-bit (ver. 1607).
        Drivers versions 10.1207.101.xxx (I tried 102, 113, 110) and 8.1206.101.118 – not work scrolling (this drivers for multi touch touchpads, but my laptop not have multi touch touchpad).
        Versions 8.1200.101.217, 8.1200.101.218 – working, but no cursor images when scrolling, and scrolling disabled in settings on default.
        Version 7.1007.115.102 – working, but sometime freezing pop-up menu when right button on USB mouse pressed.
        Now I installed version 7.1209.101.217, this working good for my laptop.

        P.S.: I find compatible driver simply – copy short line in device properties without "*" symbol, sample with my device:
        ACPI\VEN_PNP&DEV_0F13
        ACPI\PNP0F13
        *PNP0F13

        copy PNP0F13 and find this line in Apfiltr.inf file in Vi64 catalog of unpacked driver files. If this line found, then this driver compatible with device.

        Sorry for my bad english 🙂

      2. I would have expected 8.1200.101.217 to work given its what others on the Inspiron 1526 and XPS M1530 reported to work…

        7.1007.115.112 was the shipped version for these 3 systems (Vista driver).

        Any reason you are using Windows 10 version 1607 opposed to 1703?

  132. 8.1200.101.217 and 8.1200.101.218 works well, but when scrolling not appears the cursor images are added during the driver installation (from directory Vi64\data\Cur), just the usual cursor from Windows. This is not a problem, but sometimes it's convenient to see the scrolling mode (for example, normal scrolling or circular).
    The reason for using Windows 10 version 1607 is simple – I use it because this version works without any problems. And for my laptop there has not been an automatic update to version 1703 in the Windows Update Center yet. And I do not want to reinstall fine work OS without a reason. I did not find anything better in version 1703 than the version 1607, which is installed on my PC.

  133. Inspiron 3147 (aka Inspiron 11 3000 series) Windows 10 64 bit. After trial and error, Synaptics Input_Driver_756GC_WN64_19.0.15.2_A00 finally worked .

  134. Excellent work, Dr. Yip. Thank you!

    Multi-touch is not supported in hardware / firmware on the E6400 / E6500 or earlier laptops from Dell. Alps calls multi-touch their "glidepoint" technology, which they developed in order to be certified for Windows 8.1 by Microsoft. Therefore, none of the version 8 or version 10 Alps drivers work correctly on any of the Exx00 laptops, nor any of the D, C, X, l, or CS series laptops. The only Latitude laptops with multi-touch came after 2009 — Exxyy with yy greater than 00.

    The driver recommended by Dell for the E6400 is the latest version 7 driver, v.7.x2.101.230, A13 (Nov. 2013). However, if tap-to-click while typing is an issue, I recommend the 2011 driver, v.7.1207.101.108, A15 with TouchCheck enabled and the touchcheck slider all the way to the left. This leaves cursor movements enabled while typing, but turns tap-to-click OFF after typing, until you do a regular button click.

    v.7.1207.101.108, A15 also has "inertial movement" of a sort, which would be better labeled "continued edge movement." I've increased the IM areas on top/bottom/left/right in the registry from 40 to 70, and changed EnableOnlyWhenDrag from 1 to 0. Also recommend you leave Touch Sensitivity right in the middle. Too high, and IM won't work, too low, and you can get random, unintended taps when the laptop warms up under heavy load.

  135. Cypress Touchpad – 2.5.3.72 Installed on Dell XPS 13 L321x Windows 10 64 Bit, works fine, no issues. Thx for the resource.

  136. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with W10 Pro version 1703 64 bit. Install Alps TouchPad – 8.1200.101.217 everything works good.

  137. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with W10 Pro version 1703 64 bit. Install Alps TouchPad – 8.1200.101.217 everything work good.

  138. I believe I have the best possible use of the touchpad on my ooold, old Inspiron 9400 with Windows 7 32 bit, and I believe others can do the same with 64 bit, including up to Windows 10. I have the two finger scroll, three finger press to open any program of my choice, and customized edge motion and scrolling with pressure control. I'm not sure the three finger flick works, but I might be missing something.

    I tried a dozen different drivers on your list above, but could only achieve this with two unlisted drivers. The earlier driver, ver. 9.0.1.3 from Dell's site, gave me the edge motion. It has an excellent GUI to customize that feature. Then I installed the generic driver from Synaptics site — ver. 17.0.19.0 — using the "forced" method described above. Doing it manually, withOUT uninstalling the earlier driver, leaves edge motion intact, even though that part of the GUI disappears.

    The first driver is here:
    https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=KYDM4

    I recommend you spend a few days getting used to, and customizing the edge motion before you go here:
    http://www.synaptics.com/resources

    to get the latest generic driver for your operating system. Don't uninstall the first driver and use the manual method through device driver and "Have Disk" described above. Then in Control panel > Mouse > Device Settings > Settings, check all the boxes and click on "Three finger press" to choose the program(s) you'd like to open with 3 fingers.

    Only the Synaptics driver will remain in Control Panel > Programs and Features.

    On my Win7 32 bit Home Premium machine, a message popped up saying the driver is unsigned. I simply told it to install anyway, and everything was fine. Other versions of Windows may have to find a tutorial on YouTube explaining how to make Windows swallow unsigned drivers.

  139. Hey guys, I'm after circular scrolling (a.k.a chiral scrolling). I've a Dell XPS 13 (2-in-1) with windows 10 and "precision touchpad" (ALPS manufactured). I installed different versions of ALPS drivers above, but even if I do get to see the option in Dell Touchpad options, it never works. Seems like win10 still takes over and disables this functionality. Any help or advice, much appreciated. Thank you

  140. Dell Studio 1555, Win10 up to date as of 26/10/17

    Pkway posted that that the Synaptics driver 16.6.13.0 works for this machine. I have found that it's more complicated than this.

    BEFORE you test any drivers you must change a setting in Windows. Go to Settings->Mouse & Touchpad->Touchpad. Select 'No delay (always on)' in the drop down menu.

    Once you have installed a driver it will NEVER work correctly until you change a setting in the Dell touchpad utility. You will need to plug in a USB mouse to do this if clicks and taps aren't working yet. Find the setting for 'Palm rejection' and disable it by un-checking the box.

    I have tested 14.0.2 through to 16.6.13.0 and none perform well unless these two steps are taken.

    I've run out of time to systematically test all Synaptics drivers with both these steps. I'm currently using 16.6.13.0. Basic functionality is fine. Multi-touch does NOT work. Edge scrolling and zoom work which is enough for the moment.

    Thanks for such an awesome website Doctor 🙂

    1. Thank you for the nice guide that helped me out of big trouble. Synaptics driver 19.0.15.15 works on Dell Precision 5520: it indeed solves the jumpy cursor problem although the two-finger gestures sometimes work and sometimes not. Still much better than nothing.

    2. All of what is said by beetooex is correct but I think all these options disappeared with the Windows 10 (Creators?) update. Certainly I have none of them and it seems to be a "global" thing and not just me. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/touchpad-delay-after-windows-10-creator-update/3824c902-9ac8-4e33-a7ff-7d2b8630287e.
      The above link offers some way forward if you are brave enough to do the registry setting – or if you still have access to the Synaptic generic ones

  141. Thanks for creating this guide – very helpful. I recently updated an old Dell Inspiron E1505 (32-bit system, T2300 processor) from XP to Windows 10 (version 1709) and lost my touchpad scrolling capability.

    I tried a few of the drivers on the list without luck before I searched around and found one that works – Synaptics Touchpad, v.8.2.4.6, A17
    https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=KH5F6
    Two finger scrolling is not enabled, but I got back edge scrolling, which was all I really wanted.

    1. A previous comment for that model:

      Neato: "Dell Inspiron E1505 (may apply to Inspiron 6400 also) running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. The only driver I’ve found that restores scroll functionality is “Synaptics TouchPad, v.13.2.2.2, A01” from file R230390.exe (07 Jul 2012). Still not able to open the Synaptics “Dell TouchPad Settings” utility to fine-tune it, but I can finally scroll again! You can download R230390.exe from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=6RTR8 (direct: http://downloads.dell.com/input/R230390.exe)"

    After going to settings, devices, touchpad, advanced, show settings I was greeted with a Dell branded screen where I was able to enable touchpad scrolling.
    Lovely job. Thanks.

  143. Thanks for the page! I've successfully installed Synaptics 19.0.15.2 on Win 10 64bit with a so far unlisted Dell Vostro 3500. It was a manual install via device manager.
    Note: The latest Synaptics driver (as per today 19.0.27.9) did NOT work. I used the version that has been reported to be ok for Vostro 3558 and Vostro 3330 by other users. Thanks again!

  145. Thank you so much Phillip, using a Dell E6410 with Windows 10 PRO (1709) the Alps 10.1207.101.109 worked perfectly. Problem solved. Hope you don't mind but posted the link for this driver in Ten Forums. Thanks very much again!

    1. Glad it helped, I just updated the guide to incorporate guesses for most Latitudes and Precisions (listing by date). You can share the driver etc but Ten Forums don't really like me or my guides and banned me when I tried to join to help folk.

    1. Great thanks for letting me know, I didn't think that new a July 2017 driver would work on a 2009 model… 🙂

  148. MY GOD!!! I was using a laptop for almost an year, without knowing that i can use normal gestures and stuff. I was hating it for that. Couldn't install any drivers at all. Now, with the help of you- i finally did it. Thank you a lot my friend!!!

  149. Philip Yip,
    I first want to say I found a lot of great information on your pages. I was installing Windows 8.1 and could not get my installation disk to activate. So I read how Win 10 would work. I used ProduKey to recover my BOIS OEM key. I then installed installed Win 10 using that key. Thank you! I would like to share since you seem to be a Dell guy. I have ran into several Dell laptops that the mouse pointer would jump all over when typing. Apparently the touch pads can cause issues as they age. The touch pad can become so sensitive that the heat from your hands will move the cursor while typing. So I ran across this application that helps tremendously….TouchFreeze. This will lock the pointer while typing. I though you might add it to your touchpad page.

  150. Thank you very much, I downloaded the driver for my Dell laptop on dell.com and do step by step as you guided. Now it works. Perfect. I have never used touchpad with 2 or 3 fingers before.

  151. Precision M4700 with alps touchpad here:
    Dell-Touchpad-Driver_NVCF6_WIN_10.2207.101.119_A03 worked for me.
    After "Have disk" part I had to navigate to "\PS2x64" folder in unpacked driver directory.

    Sadly problem is recurring after some time. So it's better to have unpacked driver around and learn to go through fix process by keyboard, because:

    Really annoying thing is YOU CAN'T easily extract the driver without having working touchpad or external mouse. TAB just doesn't jump to "extract" button. Only solution I found is running driver installer with parameters:
    Dell-Touchpad-Driver_NVCF6_WIN_10.2207.101.119_A03.EXE /s /e=C:\mydir

    (as said in help after running exe from commandline with '-h' parameter)
    Renaming (with F2) an exe file to shorter name makes it less painful.

    I think it's worth adding to article since this can be last saviour for people who don't have external mouse around at the moment.

    And big thanks for the site! You're doing god's work!

    1. Hi, I have a Dell N5110 Inspiron Running Windows 10 Home X64. I'm trying to figure out which driver to install to re-enable the touchpad. Also, the keyboard occasionally locks out as well. I've tried the Synaptics x64 driver, but there is no PS/2 compatible mouse to select in device manager. I am only able to use a bluetooth mouse with the system.

      1. It sounds like it's disconnected physically. Perhaps the ribbon cable has shaken loose from the motherboard.

        Power down your system and then power it up and press [ F2 ] this will take you into the BIOS setup. Does your computer respond to the Touchpad there?

      2. Phillip, I verified the physical connnection as well as the Bios. The touchpad does not respond in either case. Should I replace the touchpad or keep trying drivers?

      3. Drivers make no difference for a device that doesn't exist. If it is not detected in BIOS it is defective and not seen by the Windows OS. You can try to replace it.

      4. The touchpad failed. I bought a new one and it works now.

  152. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SITE, IT PROVIDES A VERY VALUABLE.SERVICE. I'M LEAVING FEEDBACK BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT, THIS IS MY SYSTEM AND DRIVER. DELL LATITUDE E4300, DELL ALPS TOUCH PAD VERSION 8.1200.101.217. THIS INSTALLED PERFECTLY. I DID NOT NEED TO "FORCE" OR "MANUALLY" INSTALL THIS DRIVER. JUST DOUBLE CLICKED THE ICON AND IT SELF INSTALLED, NO WARNINGS, FAILURE, ETC, THEN RESTARTED MY PC AND THAT WAS IT! DOUBLE CHECKED DEVICE MANAGER AND IT DID UPDATE. THE DRIVER SAYS IT WAS MADE FOR DELL INSPIRON: N5040, M5040, M5110, N5110, M440: VOSTRO NOTEBOOK:1450, 1540,1550, VOSTRO 3555. IT ALSO IT SAYS WINDOWS 8 PRO, 32- BIT & 64-BIT. I INSTALLED THIS ON A DELL LATITUDE E4300 WITH WINDOWS 10 PRO, 64-BIT.

    THE DRIVER SOFTWARE IS ALSO FULLY CONFIGURABLE. JUST GO TO CONTROL PANEL ( MY CONTROL PANEL IS SETUP TO VIEW SMALL ICONS ) \ MOUSE. DOUBLE CLICK THE MOUSE (MOUSE ICON), WHEN THE MOUSE PROPERTIES POPUP APPEARS, CLICK ON THE BLUE, UNDERLINED " CLICK TO CHANGE DELL TOUCH PAD SETTINGS ". THIS OPENS THE "DELL TOUCH PAD CONFIGURATION SETTINGS BOX" IT HAS 4 ICONS, ONE IN EACH CORNER, JUST CLICK ON THEM TO CONFIGURE THE TOUCH PAD.

    I DID USE 3 FREE DRIVER UPDATING PROGRAMS, DRIVER BOOSTER 5, DRIVER SCOUT AND DRIVER EASY, BUT NON OF THEM UPDATED THE TOUCH PAD.

  153. I am looking for touchpad drivers for Inspiron 15 N5050. Win10 64-bit.
    I have tried Alps 8.12 but most functions do not work. which one should I go for?

  154. Hi,

    I found the way to make it work with any touchpad driver that the machine is supposed to use.
    1.) First install a driver for the touchpad.
    2.) When you launch the Touchpad configuration page, you will only see a mouse.
    3.) Close the page.
    4.) go to task manage and "End Process" on any processes that begin with "ALPS"
    5) Uninstall the driver for the Touchpad via "Device Manager". This is critical because it is the only uninstall that will let you delete all driver files (checkbox) associated with the hardware
    6.) reboot
    7.) Install Touchpad driver
    8.) Reboot
    9.) Enjoy

  155. I was able to get my Dell Vostro 3300 touchpad working on windows 10 pro 64 by using the drivers I found on this site. (version 19.0.15.2)

  156. Unfortunately it does not work my Dell Dell latitude 3570. It installs the driver but then when the driver config gui is opend to change some settings none of the settings actually work. When I open "DellTpad.exe" and try to press a button to change settings it says: cannot connect with synaptics hardware..

  157. I used "Synaptics 10.1.2 Windows Vista 64 Bit" for my Windows 7 64 bit install on my Dell Inspiron 1501, works great! the newer drivers i had tried caused lag in the mouse movement.

  158. Latitude D620 (April 2006)

  159. Dell Precision M4400 running win 10 64bit, followed your suggestion installing Alps- 8.1200.101.217 works fine with normal install. Thanks so much for this site, David Gutman

  160. Just upgraded my 2013's L322x IPS from Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro, via online tool. Touchpad wasn't working. A simple install of Cypress driver v.2.5.3.72 resolved the issue. Thanks.

  161. Latest Windows 10 compatible touchpad driver with Dell Vostro 1500 is Synaptics version 17.0.15.3. This version restored two finger vertical scrolling for me. (anything newer from Synaptics did not work, went through ALL of them.)

  162. I recently restored the scroll feature on a Dell Inspiron N5030 by following the instructions using the driver Alps Touchpad – 7.1209.101.204 Windows 7 32/64 Bit

  163. Please help!
    Dell Latitude E5520 ALPS trackpad does not work with the Microsoft/Dell Driver with latest Win10 1903.
    Tried the "Tested" 8.1206.101.112 with no success.
    Normal trackpad driver works with out the extra functionality.

  164. Dell latitude E5520 (2012) upgraded to Windows 10 x64

    None of the driver from DELL work
    Tried the recommended driver above too.
    Only PS/2 Trackpad driver works losing gestures and scrolling

    Any suggestions?

  165. Need help.
    Upgraded to Windows 10
    driver 8.1206.101.112 does not work with Win 10 v.1903
    Any suggestions?

  166. Many thanks, big time! This fixed my touchpad gestures issue on a Dell XPS 13 9333, that hadn't worked for months.

  167. Wow! This is amazing! Worked like a charm!! Now my Dell Touchpad is back. Thank you!!!!

  168. Thanks from Alwar Rajasthan…i wasted many hours for dell touchpad…But after reading this i installed in just 10 miniutes….

  169. Thank you!!! And shame on Dell. Followed your instructions to the letter and it worked like a charm. 7z was required, just as you said it might be.

  170. Any driver suggestion for Latitude 3301. Windows 10 says "Your PC has a precision touchpad". Tried the precision Alps 8.1206.101.118 with no change. Tried several other drivers without any good luck

    1. That system has an 8th generation Intel Processor and should have a Precision Touchpad. This guide is mainly for laptops that shipped in the Windows 7/8/8.1 era and had Driver problems with Touchpad Driver due to the Driver not being fully compatible with Windows 10.

      1. Thanks for your reply philipyip.
        My touchpad is working, but the single finger edge scrolling cannot be enabled any way, but it does work on Windows 7 and Ubuntu, just that the same driver isn't working on Windows 10.

        Any way it can be made to work?

  171. This worked well on Dell Inspiron 3147 using the driver on the Dell Support/Driver page. It turns out the Dell driver is the correct one, but the installer won't unpack it. Now I can turn my TouchPad on and off, so I can type without errors!

  172. You are such a LIFE_SAVER !!!
    Thank God , I saw your post!
    Tried working your instructions and boooommm. I got y gestures back on Inspiron 5558.
    I really really appreciate you!
    God bless You.

  173. Thank you so much. This was a great help for my Dell Inspiron 3543. Thank you

  174. Dell Latitude 6320 worked first time with ALPS 10.1207.101.109. Miss the single finger scrolling but "It's alive!"

  175. I have dell inspiron 15 3567, I have tried using snyanptic 19.0.15.2 and 19.0.27.9 versions and followed your instructions but neither of them have solved my scrolling issue. could you please suggest how can I get rid of this problem? thanks.

  176. I installed the driver without issues on my Dell Inspiron 9400. It's working fine, I'm typing this from that very computer.

  177. i can't thank you guys enough, got my window 10 dell latitude e5400 doing everything i expect of it, Thank You!!

    1. Hi, I am facing issue after upgrade my Dell E5400 to Win10. Can I get driver for touchpad and input device, also for DVD RW.

  178. Alps Touchpad – 10.2207.101.108 Windows 7/10 64 Bit works for me on Dell D630 Win7x64 very well! (instaled as described by force)

  179. Just force-installed Alps driver 8.1200.101.217 on a Vostro 1700 running the latest version Windows 10 32bit. Works great! My goal was to disable the touchpad when a USB mouse is installed, and I found nothing that worked until I tried your process. THANKS so much!

  180. Hey, first thank you. I have been trying to make my touchpad work correctly for months. Second, I want to leave here the info so someone else can use it:
    Dell Inspiron 13" 2 in 1 (5379), with HIC I2C drive malfunction (code 10). Windows 10 Home 64 bits.
    Synaptics Touchpad – 19.0.27.3.
    That one works like a charm. You might feel the touchpad not as sensitive as before (or maybe it´s my impression, I am not sure) and I still can´t see available settings at Settings — Touchpad. Even without it, you have every multitouch gestures available, with the default configuration of Windows 10.

    Thank you again!

  181. i have limited functionality and mostly get frustrated although cypress 2.5..3.72 much bether as compared to suggested driver for dell xps L321x. while using recommended mostly pointer hides pointer hides and freezes when i am not using it but by using this although pointer dont get hide but still irritating and difficult to drag and drop .and takes too long to work. so kindly help me dell xps 13 L321x

  183. Hi, in the end when I complete installation by providing path and all, the system gets restated but the touchpad wont work. The driver details gets changed. So I go for automatic update afterwards and the driver gets updated to default 2006 version. Touchpad is still died. I am fade up of this. Strugling since last year.Plz help. Plz.

  184. This saved me worked great on inspiron 13 7000 (7348) installed driver version 19.2.17.52

  185. Put me down as a "no-go". Followed the instructions exactly for my Dell Vostro 1510 and the "Dell" driver linked here shows up as a "Lenovo". It installs, I have the Synaptic icon on the taskbar, but everything is grayed out. No options under "Touchpad" in settings. Oh well. Just another bunch of absolute sh*t from M$, what else is new???

    PS: Scrolling works just fine running a "live" Linux Mint OS from USB.

    – both installed, but no gestures working.
    It's a bit strange as in Lubuntu 18.04 on same d630 I have two-finger scroll out-of-the-box…

  187. Vostro 3400. The driver listed "works" (can't open the touchpad panel, but you get default right/bottom scrolling, no multi-touch)

    Tried latest listed: (19.0.27.9 Windows 7/10 64 Bit) and force install proceeded, but hardware did not work.
    Based on Vostro 3330 and 3550 user listings (same vintage), tried the same (19.0.15.2 Windows 7/10 32/64 Bit) and it works!

    Thanks so much for hosting this site and sharing this information.

  188. After struggling to get the touchpad driver working properly in Dell Inspiron 3520, I finally got it working smoothly with limited features which are more than enough with the Synaptics 19.0.15.2 driver package, though the touchpad installed is Alps.
    This driver provides a more smoother experience than the Windows default driver which detects the touchpad as PS2 Mouse.

  189. FINALLY!!! Vostro 1015 Win 10 64bit, tried many drivers and finally the magic one was Alps 7.4.102.104. Got single finger scrolling back and works like a charm!
    Much gratitude…!

  190. Thanks thanks, thanks…I’ve been working on this for days just to get the darn “tap to click” turned off. Your step by step worked on my Dell Vostro 3500 (End of Life) model which I updated to free Windows 10 Pro 64 bit last week. Bluetooth and Touch Pad were only two issues… rest of Vostro 3500 laptop worked great after the Windows 10 Pro 64 bit update.

    One slight modification … I picked a more recent driver from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. After much trial & error the driver that worked as a forced install on the PS2 Mouse device (not HID device) was 19.2.17.45 , date 9/18/2016, called “Synaptic driver update for Dell Touchpad” in the Microsoft Update Catalog website.

    I finally have the Dell Pointing Devices control panel to turn off the “tap to click” and make other adjustments.

    Thanks for all the detailed screen shots. I even installed 7Zip although I think there were many other ways to handle the unzip step.

    Now back to fixing the Bluetooth radio that won’t turn on and can’t be fixed by a dozen things I’ve tried already.

  191. Worked on Dell Inspiron 3147 to make touchpad scrolling work. Got Driver from Dell then 7unzipped the .EXE and followed instructions.

  192. Alps Touchpad – 10.2207.101.108 Windows 7/10 64-Bit works fine on a Toshiba Satellite C50D-A-13M (After some correction on Dell Panel installed)

    I was going crazy to make the scrolling work, after the update from Win 8.1 to 10, thanks

  193. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks to the person who made this website and shared the video. Your assistance has been truly invaluable to me. With your help, I finally found the solution to the persistent problem I had with my laptop (Inspiron 15 3567, I used synaptics 19.0.15.2) after almost a month of searching. Your dedication and effort are commendable, and I pray that you continue to provide guidance and assistance to people like me.

    In moments like these, I am reminded of the words from the Holy Quran: 'And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, "If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe."' (Quran 14:7) This verse encapsulates the profound significance of gratitude. I am sincerely grateful for your timely assistance, and I believe that expressing gratitude will bring blessings and abundance into your life.

    Moreover, the Holy Quran teaches us that knowledge is a precious gift: 'Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.' (Quran 39:9) Your knowledge and expertise have made a remarkable difference in my life, and I am truly appreciative of the wisdom you have shared.

    Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you continue to inspire and help others with your exceptional work. May Allah bless you abundantly.
