So, I switched back to the standard right-hand-buttons.Īfter a short while, I noticed the buttons were both still working. This was great for diagnosis, but it was no long-term solution.
So, at least, I could be sure it was not a hardware failure. Instantly, all the buttons of the touchpad were working (with reversed functionality of course). There I switched the buttons in the Mouse Properties configuration dialog and clicked Apply.
I went to the “Mouse & touchpad” settings in Windows 10 and opened the “Additional mouse options”. Just to make sure it’s not the buttons being physical broken, I tried to swap the mouse buttons to check this. I though, I give it one more try to get it to work. – The problem with the left-click of the Synaptics Touchpad still persisted as before. I reinstalled Windows 10 on that SSD from scratch. Just yesterday, I replaced the hard disk of that notebook with an SSD to speed up the old laptop. There was an external mouse attached to the computer most of the time anyway. I tried quite a lot to make it work again, like uninstalling/reinstalling the driver, manually updating the driver to the most recent version, removing and re-adding the device in Device Manager.
there was no left-click possible, neither by tapping the touchpad nor by pressing the built-in, physical left mouse button below. But once I upgraded to Windows 10, the left mouse button stopped working. This touchpad was working fine in Windows 7. It has a built-in Synaptics Touchpad (Shows as “Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad” in Windows Device Manager). Then I upgraded it to Windows 8.1 and finally to Windows 10. Originally there was Windows 7 installed on it.
