T440s Windows 7 taking two fingers will turn off by itself

I have a Thinkpad T440s I bought a coupleof months ago. My problem is that the two finger press on in the Synaptics Control Panel is disabling itself. In this case completely at random. In this case I have to open the Synaptics Control Panel and re - activate. I went weeks without this occurring to have sometimes happen four or five times a day. I reinstalled the drivers Lenovo synaptics and this still happens. Is there any solutions to this? It is extremely frustrating to have to stop working at random intervals for all of this box.

Any help much appreciated.

System Specs:

Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

Intel Core i7-4600 2.1 GHz 2.7 GHz

8 GB RAM

McAfee 4.8.0.1500

Information of the touchpad:

SMS Version: SMS 12.0
Synaptics ClickPad V1.0 on the SMB Port
Driver version: 18.0.7.40
FW Version: 1.0
Interface: SMB

The only solution I've found is a workaround.

Download "two_finger-scroll. In the settings, clear the scroll and only leave the option which allows two finger tap. The value that it runs when windows starts. It is quite annoying to have to run a background program to solve this problem, but I guess that's how Lenovo rolls these days.

  • C50-A-1HF satellite will turn off by itself after 2 seconds

    Hello

    the laptop turns off by itself after 2 seconds when I turn it on. This happens if I shutted down or choosed hibernate before (Win8.1).

    This means hibernation is not at all useable.

    The next time I turn it on it works quite normal! Sleep mode works as well. Standby mode it is ready for use after open them both as a repetitive. Fascinating!

    I looked on all the settings of the BIOS, but I found nothing what could be the reason for this behavior.

    Perhaps there is a correlation with another strange behavior. The battery will not be charged over 80%. I do not use the green mode. I have to turn off the laptop and remove the battery completely for a minute. After inserting and booting Win8.1 what it charges again at 100%.

    The discharge time is approximately 3.5 hours. Otherwise, the battery is ok.

    But after the next discharge up to 10% charge that up to 80% more.

    These two effects are not normal. But I don't think (or better, I hope) that there is a material defect.

    Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?

    Best regards

    Hey man it are so strange problems and it's not easy to say what to do. All you can do is to install the original recovery image and test with the settings once more, of course without changing anything or install updates or additional applications.

    If possible to do this and test it for a while.
    > Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?
    As you probably know your possibilities to do something about this are very limited and if there is permanent problem I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and clarify all of this.
    You have the new laptop model and it should work properly. If you are not happy and there are service problems Toshiba should take are about it and help you.

  • System Restore will turn off by itself.

    It happened, but rarely and without apparent cause or sequelae. Larely, it was repetitive, once again no reason apparent, but apparently interconnected with the sudden disappearance of HP Quickplay, also by itself. My two scans, MSE and MBAM didn't pick up malware.

    I have since restored to an even better version PS. My PC works fine without apparent probs.

    I checked SR seconds ago and it is powered and creating RP of as usual.  But an individual isolation of SR is very troubling. How prevent it from happening again?

    Hi Coolnewyorker,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. I understand that the system restore will automatically close on the windows vista computer.
     
    I apologize for the inconvenience and no need to worry I'll be more than happy to help you.
     
    1. What antivirus application do you use on the computer?
    2. did you of recent changes to the computer before this problem?
     
    Follow the steps and check if that helps.
     
    Method 1
    Check the status of the shadow copy volume service. If it is, then try to restart the VSS service and check.
    (a) click Start, type services.msc in the start search.
    (b) search for the shadow copy Volume service.
    (c) make a right click on the Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) and select Properties. Check if it is started.

    You can also try temporarily disabling computer security software and check if it makes a difference. If the system restore works fine after you turn off the anti-virus, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings
    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     

    Method 3
    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • TouchSmart 600-1315xt will turn off by itself

    My subject PC that is running Windows 7 turns off on its own when it is sitting idle for some time. When in use, it works very well and when you stop screen saver will come after 10 minutes, then after sitting idle for 30 minutes it will fit off the coast. If someone knows what could be the problem?

    The Power Options in Windows 7 settings would be the second thing to check after inspecting admission and exhaust ports of your PC. If there is any dust bunnies blocking the air circulation while there could be quite a show of heat that could cause the CPU to stop the system.

  • What to do when iPhone 6 will turn off by itself?

    I've had my iPhone since June of 2015 6. I have always been careful enough with it and have never broken broken screen or caused dents in the aluminum body. At the beginning of January 2016 (this year), I had not had a single case on my iPhone and he got up on the table and accidentally drop playing with it. When I picked up back, the screen completely faded and discolored unusual and then turns off completely. The screen went black and regardless of how many times I tried to turn it on, restart it or to load, it still lights. I went to the Sprint store two days after using watch it. The person helping me to told me it would be about a two-hour wait. I come back to the left, after an hour and 45 minutes, and the employee told me that they could not find what the problem and gave me a replacement. The replacement has acted since with it restarts itself when not in use. For example, if I use my iPhone for 30 minutes straight, it would be turned off after that I locked and would not come until after about 20 minutes of me trying to restart it. A red screen might flash just before going off as well. Unfortunately, this happens at least once every day. I tried to go back to the Sprint store, and told me to try the Apple Store. I have not tried to make an appointment and go for the moment. Are there solutions to the problem that I am experiencing that I can do myself or is that called to replace another?

    First of all, you should have taken the first device at the Apple Store, because they are the ones who run the service under warranty, and the unit was still under warranty. Your replacement the Sprint device, it is unclear what kind of device you have received from Sprint, and that can not be under warranty. I recommend that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple Store to have this unit looked at and whether she has any guarantee in this regard. It could be a device that Sprint provided you may not have any warranty on this topic and Sprint messed up you the 6 month warranty on your iPhone. The flash screen you describe looks like a hardware problem.

  • Satellite A30 554 will turn off by itself.

    My Satellite A30 554 for a reason any began to turn off on its own after working for a while or even during startup. This happens both in Win XP and SUSE 10.0. I used the CD recovery to format the entire hard drive and reinstall the system and even during this computer just turned off, so it's sort of a problem material I think. Suddenly, this thing started to happen as early as last week. I have also had problems with before starting - just get a black screen instead of system startup, but usually remove the battery and put the rank or start once helped. Computer two years ago, and I think the warranty is over. What may be the cause of the problem and what can I do now to solve?

    Hello

    Sometimes the notebooks closed because of overheating problems. There are a few reasons why units overheat. One of the reasons is the Sales cooling fans. Fans don property t work because of dust inside the laptop. In this case, I recommend to check the ventilation openings and clean it. You can use the vacuum to suck up dust.

  • Equium A100 - 02L - backlighting will turn off by itself

    Hi people, I have another strange problem on a Toshiba laptop and I hope someone can tell me where to find a solution.

    The laptop turns on ok and post ok, screen is fully informed and nice n bright. Immediately after the POST the back light turns off, leaving me with an almost unreadable screen.

    First thought was obviously backlight inverter, the light was turned off in the bios also screen. It has been replaced twice with the same question.
    Next thought was the screen, also replaced with the same result.
    The only thing I can think of now would be sensor hibernation or the motherboard itself. I do not see the sensor cover on this model and I don't want to think about whether the motherboard until everything else is excluded.

    Any advice would be greatly received, thanks in advance.

    Normally I would also say that it s ups the FL, but you have already replaced it. By the way: you did it replace yourself and have you taken a Toshiba original spare part or another?

  • Record will turn off by itself

    I have a Sansa Clip + 4 GB and like it a lot.  He plays very well and when he records it superbly.

    However, when I want to record a class, I start recording, put it in reverse so that the microphone is pointing towards the sound source.

    I come back later and find the turned entire drive, and when I go to play the record, it's a few minutes of time, while the class was an hour of time.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    You can sleep under tension, so it turns off after a certain period of time?

    You have enough free space (memory) to record for the hour? These things recorded in WAV format, so they use a lot of memory for recording space.

  • Why Satellite 200cds will turn off by itself?

    After 25 minutes to do not touch, weather active or not, it just shuts down and the power led flashes red (all other LEDs are off). He's not coming by pressing the power button then.

    I don't think that there is a power management, because it is so old, but I can't be sure, I have found no manual of Toshiba or Google sites. Can anyone tell what the power blinks red led?

    Hello

    It's a FAIRLY OLD machine so I wonder why you´re always use it. Isn´t a little nostalgic, it? ;)

    Regarding your problem: this 'extinction' appears exactly 25 minutes? It would be useful to know whether the machine really has some powermanagment then you should be able to change settings in the bios.

    If you know how to get to the bios, then it try it. Unfortunately, I Don t know how to get the bios on this machine (perhaps by pressing ESC, DEL or F2... I'm not sure).

    See you soon

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Have you read this forum and other discussions concerning similar behavior for laptop?
    There is enough discussion on these issues, and in most cases, it s related to the temperature inside the laptop.

    This can happen if don t cooling modules run with maximum efficiency and the vents are clogged with dust.
    You can try to remove the dust of ventilation with the can of compressed air.
    This spray can be purchased from various online retailers.

  • Satellite A200 will turn off by itself continuously

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop because it stops itself constantly, having used internet for 30 minutes, or immediately after launching a major program like photoshop or autocad or a game.

    I spotted that it also runs very hot fast in a few minutes could be related? What could be the problem?

    Hi mate.

    Quest - what? I think I know what could cause this problem.
    I think that it s associated with high temperature. The CPU and the GPU create a lot of heat while running a powerful software (app chart, games, etc.).
    Eventually, the cooling modules can cool the CPU because of dust.

    Remove dust from the cooling fans and the grids using a jet of compressed air.
    This tool is very useful and can be bought from different merchants online.

  • U2715H - Windows automatically resized when the screen turns off then turn it back on

    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • 1 single monitor connected to the PC
    • native resolution 2650 x 1440 at 60 Hz the value
    • through CDM of the monitor to the RFP the ti EVGA 750 SC (cable Dell)
    • all drivers updated on 28/12/15

    I just bought this monitor and I noticed this strange behavior. Whenever I have turn off the monitor (or it will turn off by itself), if I didn't have a maximized window, all windows (regardless of size) gets automatically resized to fit in the left upper quadrant when the screen turns back on again.  If I had something full screen, this behavior does not occur.

    I find this very annoying. This behavior happened with my previous monitor, which was only 1080 x 1200.

    I was unable to find any setting for the U2715H disable this "feature". This isn't because EasyArrange from Dell. I do not use this feature. And this always happens with Display Manager not installed.

    Is it just a 'feature' of Dell U2715H? Is responsible for Windows? Help, please.

    TIA

    There was no pilot or changes to the hardware of my first post.  BTW, my monitor is a Rev A02.

    A few days after my previous message, another question emerged.  Monitor flash intermittently ON / OFF every few seconds.  I unplugged/replugged the cable CDM - DP and that seems to fix things... until the next day.  This time, I nothing could fix the random rotation power SWITCH of the monitor.  Desperate, I decided to plug an old HDMI cable, I had to hang out.  Flashing problem has been resolved.  Not only this, using HDMI solved my original problem of auto resizing windows.

    The solution to my original problem: use an HDMI cable.  I went to the Dell CDM - DP cable and the problem has been resolved; no more windows resize automatically when the monitor turns off in sleep/towers.  I always get the native resolution at 60 Hz and there is no noticeable disadvantages to the use of the HDMI versus DP interface.  I've been using the HDMI cable for about a week and there is no other issue.

    Just for additional verification, I bought an Accell UltraAV DP - DP 1.2 cable (B142C-007 b-2), one of the few officially approved by VESA (see link below).  Using this cable does NOT my automatic window resizing problem original.  I do not use it long enough to see if they would prevent the random flashing question.

    I still don't know the exact cause of my original question.  I guess it's a driver problem with DisplayPort standard.  But if you do not need DP 1.2 functionality, I suggest that you just use your GPU HDMI output (if she has a).
