XPS 13 (L322X) trackpad issues windows 10

Yep I understand it is a beta and so I don't expect a solution just hoping for one, I actually installed windows 10 over Ubuntu, I strongly dislike windows 8 but windows 10 has so far been great.

I asked the same question on microsoft's TechNet, I just put it here as well as I figured there may be some fellow dell users who have tried windows 10 and thus experienced and potentially solved this issue. I have tried looking for a newer driver on cypress's website but got nowhere similarly I have been searching online more generally. 

Thanks for the suggestion of looking for other vendors who use the same trackpad I had not thought of that, so I will try look now.

First, understand you are using a beta operating system. You are not going to get "hot corners" or gestures to work in Windows 10 until a driver is dialed-in by either Dell or the hardware manufacturer. Period.

Your best bet is to keep trying different drivers from different hardware system manufactures/sellers -- as well as the hardware maker itself. I've found some are in different stages of Windows 10 compliance than others. For example, Dell might not be ahead of another seller with the same hardware -- or vice-verse. 

Also, you will get better help from a forum designated to Windows 10. As this is a general "hardware" on Win10 Preview, not a Dell specific issue.


Good Luck!

Better to post in the Microsoft Windows 10 forum for help with this. As you know, windows 10 preview is still in testing and should not be installed over your working windows 8. It won't be final until later this year. You can upgrade to win 10 from the preview. However to get the free upgrade you'll have to reinstall windows 8.1 first if you installed the preview over it.

Windows 10 forum is here-- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp? 

Edit: It is not a good idea to try other maker's drivers. Try the windows 8.1 drivers from Dell if the windows 10 drivers don't work. Dell drivers are customized for each model laptop.

Since Windows 10 has hit RTM, are there any plans to release drivers for the 2013 XPS13, or is Windows 8/8.1 the last supported release?

When Win 8 was issued, Dell touchpad drivers for Win 7 were not too good. They eventually issued a sort of universal Win 8 driver to use with all laptops. Usually, Dell does not supply drivers for an OS that was not available when the laptop first went on sale. As suggested above, look for Win 10 drivers on other OEM sites. I have found Toshiba to be a good source for new OS drivers for touchpads.

Unfortunately, Dell is the OEM that I've found to use Cypress trackpads, and Cypress doesn't distribute drivers themselves. Looks like Win10 is just going to be lacking scrolling capability as long as I keep this laptop, which is fine. 

same issu here with the final relase of windows 10.

I hope dell will update the driver soon.

Thank you, kind gentleperson!

thanks saved me hours in trying to figure this out. Thanks again

This did not work for me. I uninstalled the cypress touchpad then went to the link and installed the new one (restarting in between). My touchpad will not work :( Very disappointing. I wish I would have kept Windows 7. Now I have an awesome XPS 13 with no touchpad :( Thanks Microsoft.

After looking around on different forums I can see that some people recommend downloading the windows 8 driver for the touchpad...would you recommend something different for the XPS 13? I was hoping to have my XPS working during the holiday season :/

Thank you for this simple solution. Wouldn't it have been nice for Dell to post this on their web site, rather than requiring it to need to be found in a user's post?

This did not work for me. It worked originally but after I restarted it stopped working. I tried numerous time all with the same outcome :(
