I upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago on my Lenovo U530 touch laptop. After I did this my touchpad was no longer able to two finger scroll. The touchpad works like any other touchpad but the two finger scroll is gone, when the gesture is done there is no response. I tried downloading the drivers off of the Lenovo website but this did not fix anything. When I go to my mouse properties and go to hardware or ELAN there are no devices listed. PLEASE HEEELP.

2 finger scroll is a driver feature, not windows 10 one.
So without a driver you are stuck with the default mouse pad settings, i.e. no 2 finger support.

There may well be a new driver from Lenovo in the future but only they will be able to comment on that.
It may be worth trying Elan Tech's website as since they make the pad itself they might have an update sooner.


So just wait for them to update their drivers? I reaaaally don't wanna go back to Windows 8.
 
As plasmastorm said, try downloading their Windows 8 drivers for the touchpad and see if they still work, even if any Windows 10 specific drivers don't. If that doesn't help, then yes, you are stuck with either waiting for new Windows 10 drivers, or going back to 8.1.
 


I have tried the Windows 8.1 driver and now it shows up in the Hardware section, but not the section ELAN which I believe is where you edit gestures. What do I do? Is two finger scroll enabled a different way on Windows 10?
