Touchpad driver for Alienware 17 R4
Hi
I checked the drivers for my 17 R4 and found I was running a newer version of the driver than that advised by Dell. As I had some touchpad problems I removed the existing driver and loaded the Dell driver (Synaptics 19.2.17.59) and all was well. Today this driver was automatically overwritten by by Windows update, (Synaptics 19.2.17.64). Is there any way to stop this happening?
Win 10 1903.
Many thanks for your help

To prevent the driver from being reinstalled by Windows Update, use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the driver.
Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates.
