I want to install a Synaptics touchpad driver on my Lenovo G710 laptop.
I downloaded a new touchpad driver from the Lenovo support website. It said it was for Synaptics, Elan, Alps. I clicked to install, and it looked like it was going to install Synaptics, which is what I want; but the text was cut off so I wasn't sure. No choice was made available. When I continued, I got a box saying that ELAN was being installed.
I've checked around on this site, especially the suggested questions that appeared as I typed this question, and tried going to the device manager and picking a driver to update. The choices there are Lenovo and PS/2.

This was my situation with Lenovo Edge Windows 10 Synaptics driver. See whether this helps. I was using Windows 10 in my Lenovo Edge 15. It happened suddenly. Double finger touch wasnt working. So I've uninstalled Syaptics driver and tried reinstalling the driver which I've downloaded from Lenovo/Synaptics website. After installation, it errored "Synaptic device not found".
With this state, just go to Device Manager under Control Panel.
Under Mice and other pointing devices, right click Lenovo Pointing Devices > Update Driver Software...
Finish it and restart the machine. This should work.
