    Thanks.

    If you are talking about the "BIOS", I installed this last night and for me, the trackpad is still appalling.

    No there's actually a new trackpad driver. But I made a mistake and its only Windows 7 unfortunately.

    This just started a few days ago.

    Whenever I put the computer to sleep then wake it up, my trackpad click fails. The click (pressing down on the trackpad so that it physically clicks) no longer works. The tap to click still works, and the double tap to drag still works, so I can still use the trackpad. But it's really inconvenient.

    Reboot fixes the problem, but the whole point of putting the computer to sleep is so that I have near instant on when I need it.

    EDIT: Also, the two finger scroll doesn't work when waking up from sleep. Reboot also fixes this. BTW, I'm running Windows 10.

    I made these changes however I want to test it with the original settings, I made the foolish change without saving the original numbers. Can I ask a huge favor and have someone who has not made the changes look up their values for keys above..

    Thank you.
