Title: Mouse pad gesture problem
Post by: GOLD HARDWARE on January 20, 2018, 04:25:37 PM

My system's mouse pad puts the system on sleep mode forcefully while trying to use it to scroll up/down and it just started four days ago.
Please i need help to fix it. Thanks

are you referring to the laptop's touchpad?

have you tried uninstalling the current drivers and rebooting.
that should make Windows detect it as new hardware and reload the inbuilt drivers.
then if you want, download the drivers from the touchpads website for full gesture customisations.

Also travel to Device Manager...rite clik the touchpad select Properties...in the Advanced Tab uncheck "allow Win to turn this device off to save power"...

Dumbest Windows default setting ever...
