Lenovo Z500 Touchpad Driver Windows 10

After contacting Lenovo Support via the Online Chat function, and talking to Microsoft via Contact Support, I managed to figure out a fix for the issue. With Lenovo, the technician wanted me to install an updated driver version, but there is none available on the site. However, while working on it, I and the tech discovered that the Synaptics Pointing Driver (roughly the name) in the Programs and Features Application is conflicting with the Windows 10 installation.

Uninstall it, restart the computer, log in (with onscreen touchboard or a USB port mouse) and the touchpad will work. If the problem crops up again, then the program reinstalled itself, (check Program and Features first), so repeat the steps.

Thursday, November 17, 2016. Lenovo IdeaPad Z 500 drivers Windows 8 64bit. 9:07 PM driverlaptopdownload.com No comments. Lenovo IdeaPad Z 500 Touchpad Driver Touchpad Driver (Elan, Synaptics, Intel) for Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) File Version: 11.4.8.1/16.2.10.13.

I own a Z500 Touch which, excepting Bluetooth only works when my PC is reboot (I don't know why), the laptop goes really well. Today is the day when W10 release.

I've been watched and Lenovo says my laptop is not on the list of the recommended PC to upgrade (). The PC neither appeared on the list to upgrade W8.1 and, despite that, the computer works perfectly (not the Bluetooth, as I said). Lenovo hasn't realeased any kind of update or new driver for the laptop in a official way ( at the moment at least.

I'd like to know if you recommend me to update or not update, because I'm afraid of apps like Energy Management stop working correctly, or drivers like the wi-fi one, in spite of the compatibility test from Get Windows 10 said that my PC can run the new SO with no problem. If someone has tried with this laptop Windows 10 or has any idea, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks in advance. Theoretically you won't really need new drivers from Lenovo, the Windows Upgrade does drivers and stuff itself and brings them over from the old OS (at least in my experience earlier this morning ). However, since there's no real rush to get Windows 10, you might as well wait if you aren't sure or aren't comfortable upgrading yet. They'll be fixing bugs along the way and you have a full year to upgrade for free, so there's no need to do it as soon as possible.

One thing to watch out for is NVIDIA drivers are a bit wonky at first and you'll need to update Windows 10 from Windows Update, so don't be freaked out if your screen looks weird at first. Well I made the jump recently (Z500 nontouch corei7, nvidia740) and I can say the OS is really nice. Especially the browser, Edge, which is a freaking beast.

Also the new start environment is so much better and faster than the Windows 8.1 platform. I recommend you try it out. Just make sure you make a backup with Lenovo onekey recovery just in case you experience an incompatibility. But so far I've only encountered very minor issues with the upgrade. The upgrade step was reminiscent of the jump to 8.1 but this time the download is operated by windows update instead of the store. Good thing about it is you get to keep ALL YOUR FILES AND PROGRAMS.

The downside is it's not a fresh installation so there might be some issues if you've tweaked your registry and system files. Also you make a huge windows.old folder which you have to delete manually with disk clean up. Once upgrade is done, the OS works off the bat, using most of your previous settings and preferences. You will immediately feel the difference.

Also all of my programs work without compatibility issues so far. All my files are all in the same places were I left them and changes to user folders are maintained. However like the upgrade from windows 8 to 8.1, the same driver issues come up. Behringer Uca202 Driver Windows 10. Like 8.1, windows tries to install default drivers instead of the right ones so the video card will be off, the touchpad will be off, the audio card will be off. Good thing is you can use your 8.1 drivers without any problems. The energy management and onekey theater programs will work once you installed the right drivers. So far the only problem I've encountered is with the camera. Alfa Wifi Driver Windows 10 more.

But I have yet to reinstall the driver which I believe would fix it. But I expect there will be issues as some users report that the Windows Camera app is really buggy to begin with. All in all that's what I've experienced so far. I'm just 12 hours since upgrading. I'll update you once some other problems pop out.

In my tweaking of the various drivers, I encountered this issue also but unfortunately I could not recall on what I was particularly doing that fixed it. In anycase, its usually due to installing the wrong driver. If I recall directly this happened to me when I wanted to get smartpad options on my touchpad and I installed a driver for Acer for my Lenovo z500 (a solution I found on this site when I was still using windows 8.1).

One of the features there which I wanted from it was it disabled the touchpad automatically when a mouse is plugged in. My guess was there was an incompatibility that resulted in it disabling my keyboard too. My suggestion is 1) get help from a tech savvy person first (a friend) so he can troubleshoot if something goes horribly wrong. But my disclaimer also is that I'm not really a tech expert as I am a medical doctor by profession but my passion for gaming has led me to a 'carowner mechanic knowledge' for computer things.

In anycase the first thing you should do is try to uninstall your drivers for your mouse and keyboard. Better do it in safemode as you will lose your ability to use your input options (you can't type or use your mouse).

Windows should then automatically install generic drivers for your touchpad and keyboard. For me, I did not anticipate that I would lose all input options while doing this (a really doh! Moment for me) but for my luck windows automatically installed a generic driver for the touchpad and I was able to restart from there. Once you are done, I suggest you install the windows 8.1 drivers from lenovo site as these are the ones that should work for you device. Just select to sort by OS (Win8.1) and most of the drivers should work.

As a follow up on the issues that I encountered (Reposting from another thread) here is what I did: Intel graphics card =>I reinstalled the windows 8.1 driver from lenovo site. Use the version 10 as version 9 would make your graphics switching off. Do not use the generic lenovo driver automatically installed by Win 10 as you will have brightness issues. Problem with touchpad (Elan) = Generic Elan driver installed by windows should work but most options would be disabled. To re-enable these options open this via Regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Elantech SmartPadDisplay and make all options to 1.

This will temporarily make all the options available when you open Elan touchpad options( Control panel ->mouse settings ->touchpad Tab or just right click on Elan on taskbar icon tray. Adjust to your preference. Audio driver= Audio drivers (Realtek)= Generic drivers work all fine but I suggest using the Windows 8.1 driver from lenovo support site. But if you want to get your Dolby Home theater back, uninstall your sound drivers from Uninstall programs and Device manager and reinstall the realtek audio drivers from your lenovo recovery partition (drive D). Lenovo Hotkeys - make sure you installed the latest BIOS drivers from support site. It makes your BIOS have the option to enable/disable hotkeys (you get your function keys back and the hotkeys accessible by pressing fn key) Bluetooth (Atheros) - I perceived no difference when using the autoinstalled driver versus using the win8.1 driver.

Just go with what works. Bluetooth should be accessible using the Windows 10 start menu. Webcam (Realtek Easycam)- autoinstalled driver is buggy. Which is weird as autoinstalled driver from Win8.1 used to work fine. Also updating via youcam site wasn't allowed by windows10 as the certificates were expired. What I did was reinstalled the driver from Lenovo Recovery Partition (drive D) and it finally worked.

But I don't use the webcam so much so I'm not sure if there will still be problems. I am using the ideapad z400 touch and have been upgraded to windows 10. As you say, ' Intel graphics card =>I reinstalled the windows 8.1 driver from lenovo site', I have done this too and my brightness problem is solved. I am facing the problem with the intel HD graphics 4000 display driver that I install from lenovo site.

The driver seems like not fully compatible with windows 10. My screen will turn off after 5 minutes and when I move the mouse to wake it up I face the problem, the screen will freeze for a while and start to wake up and showed me the message 'intel display driver.has stopped responding and has recovered' This happens everytime after my screen turn off. Besides, my pc can't go to sleep mode. When I select sleep for my pc, the screen went black and it takes a long time to sleep but actually it is not, then it will shut down on its own. I have to press the power button to turn it on again. I think this problem is also related to the display driver.

I have no problem with this display driver on windows 8.1. I really hope that Lenovo will come out a new display driver for windows 10 because I prefer windows 10 than windows 8.1.
