Re: T440/p CLUNKPAD: Pics and installation of T450 Synaptics and Alps Touchpad+buttons Driver

has anyone been able to get this work w/ the latest windows 10 update (20H2 build 19042.685) [Thinkpad t440p]??? I've been holding out on updating cause it breaks the trackpad (2 finger scroll and the trackpad in general is fuct) (Synaptics). so frustrating....is there a workaround :?:

Well, it's not doing a true low-level format so much as a full disk zeroing (semantics :)) - but I think that's a good conclusion given the behavior and errors. If it took that long to do the format, then there are probably a lot of errors that slowed it down. On a side note, are those original W2k...
