Synaptics Touchpad not working not but only for log-in

I had a little accident with my registry and lost a few settings. This may, or may not, be associated with the following question.

On my laptop, the touch-pad works fine until I log in to my user account (admin). As soon as I do this, the touchpad stops at this work and the only way I can move the cursor with a plug in mouse. If I connect to this particular account, the touch-pad starts working again. I can connect to a different user account and the touch-pad still works. It's only one account that is affected. Any suggestions where to start looking for the problem?

Hello

Thank you for reaching out to us to Microsoft Community.

As you mentioned, that the problem is specific to a user account, this can happen if the user profile is damaged. To solve the problem, I would ask to create a new user profile and then copy the data from the old damaged to the new profile.

Your user profile is a collection of settings that make the computer look and work the way you want. It contains your settings for wallpapers, screensavers, wallpapers, pointer preferences, settings of the sound and other features. User profiles ensure that your personal preferences are used whenever you log on to Windows.

To create a new user profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile is also created.

For more information on creating a user and then profile by copying the contents of the old user profile to the new, please check the steps described in the help provided below Microsoft Article.

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    I understand that you had a problem with the touchpad for months because it is not responding. Although the driver is listed in programs and features in the Device Manager is not listed.

    Have you checked for virus and malware?

    Have you done all Windows updates?

    Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to facilitate updates of HP?

    First you would try this step.  Some models, you can enable or disable the touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad.  Please see if it is applicable for you.

    Then in Device Manager, view hidden devices and search the hardware changes see if the touchpad now will be seen.

    Here is a link to the HP laptops - use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad (Windows 8) that should help you too.

  • Ethernet cable to connect my windows laptop 7 to the internet. connection is very bad. It works but only for 30 minutes max.

    My internet does not work correctly. I use an ethernet cable to connect my laptop (using windows 7) to the internet. However the connection is very bad. Sometimes it works but only for 30 minutes max, and other times it does not at all, connect saying that the cable is disconnected. I tried 3 different cables to 2 different ports, then maybe the problem comes from my laptop. It connects to the wifi networks fine but not with the cable. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the problem and how can I solve this problem?

  • How to fix Adobe Application Manager code error-60 download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 app

    How to fix Adobe Application Manager code error-60 download appears corrupt but only for Photoshop CS6 Creative Suite cloud App. Several attempts have been made to install Photoshop CS6 with Adobe Application Manager without success. All the other Creative Suite apps has been downloaded successfully. I get Installation failed when trying to install Photoshop. How no one corrects it?

    PJBarbour I would recommend working with your IT Department to solve your network problems.  Aid and the trial license is only a workaround and do not solve the root cause to be able to download the Adobe Application Manager software.

    There are other offers available currently in the creative cloud, i.e. Adobe Edge and Lightroom, you need to download and install using the Adobe Application Manager to the licensed software.

  • I need BIOS update for Satellite Pro M70 (PSM75E), but only for the BACK

    Hello world

    Help me!! I'm looking for driver for BACK Bios M70. Does not exist, only for windows and my cell phone is dead.
    Bad news, because after 3 minutes, stop!

    So I have only one solution (with the diskette bootable cd).
    So I need the dos version of the Bios

    Thank you

    This version is not available on the official support page so only one chance to get it is to contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help.
    Sorry, but I don't see another option for traditional BIOS.

  • Satellite A100 PSAAR: Synaptics touchpad not working not not on Vista Ultimate x 64

    I decided to upgrade my XP 32 bit Vista x 64 Ultimate on my PSAAR A100.
    Operating system works perfectly except one thing - touchpad, which work perfectly under XP, is not answer at all under Vista x 64 (with SP1 of course).

    Worse, it's that my touchpad (Synaptics) is listed in as a work Device Manager correctly. Hmm - I don't remember. Meet your possible suggestions - I tried to reinstall, I tried to use the A200 drivers (since Toshiba does not support drivers for Vista x 64 for line A100) and even had the newer drivers from the Synaptics site. Update Vista even me has new drivers - cool, I admit, but it still does not work, even if Windows does not seem to "know" about any help would be very appreciated :) it...

    PS (optional problem) I also have 2 unknown according to Device Manager devices - since I have no idea what they are, and because I don't think I'm missing something - I simply gave up on top of those - at least for now ;)

    Of course, nobody here the solution for you. :(

    Problem is that this model of laptop is not supported for Vista 64-bit. I don't really know what you can try. Maybe install driver designed for A300?

    I don't really know. You can use an external mouse with success?

  • 7 caused synaptics touchpad not working Windows Update

    Hello

    I ran the windows 7 updates from last night on my laptop HP G62-373DX.  When I started my computer touchpad not working.  I went into Device Manager & it is said that the touch pad is damaged or missing.  In addition my Kaspersky anti-virus is also disabled now.  I tried to reset the device and also made a system restore back to before I was running updates.  Neither work.

    Any suggestions?

    After talking with support for some time, they suggested I run a recovery, but I could not do this without a mouse (tab would not work to get me through the options).  I don't have a mouse so I thought I'd like to borrow a & then get back in touch with technical support.  In the meantime, I decided to try & get my anti-virus online.  Not sure if this is what fixed it or what, but after I downloaded the update for my anti-virus my touchpad started working again.  Perhaps, that was blocking the installation of the new driver?  Who knows, it works fine now so fingers crossed I don't have any problems more.

    Have you checked to see if your PDF is updated? You should take a look at the Base files display PDF in Firefox article. There are lots of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF Add-ons to see if this solves the problem.

  • Rendering problem - all the text in my Flex application is not visible, but only for a single user

    Hi all

    I have a very strange problem... we had a trouble report from a user who said that she could not see the text in a Flex application, we are working on.  It works for everyone but this one user - and still unknown, it works for me when I open as the user, on the same hardware that is using this user.

    The only difference is the remote desktop client that is used.  In my test case, I connect to the Terminal Services Server in Windows 2003 server from my workstation, and it works.  It connects on the same Services Terminal Server in Windows 2003 workstation server, using the same credentials, and it does not work.  If I don't see it with my own eyes, I'm not sure I would have believed it.

    To prove that I'm not crazy, I made a record.  Check it out:

  • Windows 8 keyboard works do not, but just for a specific profile (NOT a hardware problem)!

    Hey people this is the strangest question.   Device Surface RT of my wife had the keyboard AND the small button of windows on the prior to completely stop working.   The game mouse and left and right mouse keys still work.   Also, there is still a small noise when you press the keys, but nothing appears on the screen.   I tried to plug and reconnect the cover touch, tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, and then I put in place a whole new profile on the machine and the button keyboard and windows worked fine.    Then I connected to our desktop PC of Windows 8 with my wife and found that the keyboard does not work there either!   Maybe there is a setting or another that has been altered in its account of Microsoft and now the setting is homelessness... it's the strangest problem.   Has anyone ever heard talk about him?     I consider just ditching her account and setting it up with a new one but it has invested heavily in ongoing one since it is also his e-mail address and she had a bunch of applications.

    Thank you
    Mike

    None of these methods did the trick.   The real solution was to change a configuration setting in the center of the "ease of access".   I had a setting called "Turn on filter keys" turned on, as well as some detailed within this feature options.   It was probably the result of my daughter for 3 years getting there when I wasn't looking :-).    Given that I had roaming profile through devices settings, it affects all devices connected to this account.   After that I fixed it in the same place, the new setting propagated to the others and the problem was solved!   I hope that my pain on this is useful to someone else in the future who runs into this problem.

    In addition, I hope that Windows 8 product team numbers how 'error proof' this 'feature' which is configurable in the next update of product, since I can't imagine any scenario of "ease of use" could involve expanding the physical buttons on the keyboard and windows stop working while still making small noises as if they work.
