Synaptics SMBus touchpad not in devices

Hello,

My Synaptics SMBus touchpad is not in the list of devices in the devicemanager. It has removed itself i think.

Of course the touchpad is not working.



Is there any way to add this again.

Hi,

This issue may occur due to the outdated Synaptic Touchpad

I would suggest you to download and install the latest Synaptic Touchpad drivers from the device manufacturer’s website and uninstall the Synaptic touchpad drivers and re-install the same again.

Note: Make sure you download and save the Touch Pad driver and installed it before uninstalling the same.

To uninstall Synaptic touchpad drivers, follow these steps:

  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device Manager.

  Locate Mice and other pointing devices and expand the same.

  Right-click the Synaptic driver and select
  Uninstall. (Note: keep the latest installed Synaptic driver)

  Restart the computer, if prompted.
