My laptop just downloaded an update for the touchpad drivers from Windows Update, and it looks like a stock Elan driver package, rather than the horrid mess that Asus puts together. Seems to be working better, and even has more features than the Asus version.

Going to pull out my other Asus laptop/tablet and see if it gets the same treatment...

Good news Dave, thanks for the note. One of my W10 machines is also an ASUS notebook with Elan touchpad that has been somewhat flaky under W10. I read that MS was monitoring for troublesome driver issues and would be responding quickly. Good plan, I thought, but looks like it's true. I'll go look for updates tomorrow. Did you prod it, or did this just download by itself?

Looks like it installed completely by itself. It's actually a Toshiba driver for some strange reason... I recall experimenting with alternative drivers a while back, just because Asus SmartGesture is so horrible (my next laptop definitely won't be an Asus, and it's almost entirely because of SmartGesture). I wonder if there were some tiny pieces left, and Windows Update spotted them and pulled a newer version. Whatever the case, I uninstalled the Asus driver so the good stock ones hang around!

Now I'm trying to find a comparable package for my T100 tablet. It's a removable keyboard dock, so I don't know if the bus is different, and hence needs a very different driver.

EDIT: Yup, the T100 is an Elan, but it's an I2C bus (whatever that is). Not having any luck finding other laptops that use the same kind of touchpad. Let me know if you guys know of any.
