Touchpad Scroll work in Firefox, Explorer but not in Store, Edge

#1 Post by Insomniac1971 » Thu Aug 13, 2015 6:28 pm

Hi guys, hope someone can fix this:

Lenovo Thinkpad R500 - Touchpad scroll works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, File Explorer, Device manager, Help and some other places, but it does not work in Start menu or any menu under Control panel, Edge or Windows Store - no matter what I have tried it simply will not Scroll - There is no doubt this a BUG.



Is there a solution or Fixit for this odd behaviour?



I'm guessing without really knowing it, that most of the user interface windows like Store and Control panel and Start menu is linked to Edge and that is the one having the bug. Like some linux distro's have chromium integrated and if removed it crashes because that is the Graphic Engine that runs it all.



Hope someone can answer this cause it driving me nuts!


Touchpad/Trackpoint: ALPS UltraNav 2 - Ihave the newest driver from lenovo an ALPS don't have driver download available. But can't see how its a driver issue when it works in Device manager and the other places.

With kind regards

I found the ultimate solution for this problem:

Delete windows totally and install Peach OSI 14.04 LTS instead.

And I have never been happier with my computer:) No crashes, or hangups, or failing programs:)

It is 6 months since I have used Windows 10 but I feel your pain. I am not really surprised there is still no fix.

The novelty of W 10 will wear off soon enough.
