I can't seem to scroll on the Windows 10 start menu with an ELAN touchpad. It scrolls on other places though like the Settings app or any other Win32 application but not on the start menu. I've already tried the registry edit for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Elantech\SmartPad\ScrollControl_Mode set to 1 but when I restart, it keeps reverting back to 0.

I found an even better solution than working with the basic ELAN driver, I followed this guide on Reddit which transformed the ELAN touchpad to a precision one which introduces more features and smoother handling!

In case the Reddit post gets taken down, I'll repost the steps here:

  1. Download this or that complimentary of u/BredzPro
  2. Begin the install and when prompted select extract only
  3. Open device manager and find your ELAN touchpad
  4. Right-click + click properties
  5. In the drivers tab click update drivers
  6. Click "browse my computer for software"
  7. Click "have disk"
  8. Select the file "ELAN.inf" in the farthest subfolder where you extracted the .exe
  9. Select "ok" and ignore the warning
  10. Reboot your computer
  11. The touchpad should stop working
  12. Go into device manager
  13. There should be an unknown device that wasn't there before
  14. Right-click + click properties
  15. On the drivers tab, click update drivers
  16. Like last time click manual
  17. It should still have the folder used for the last driver in the text box
  18. Click next
  19. You should be good, enjoy!

NOTE: For step 8, I couldn't find any ELAN.inf file so I went with the ETD.inf file. The rest of the steps should go as planned though.
