Synaptics driver update for Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

-
I am running Windows 10 on an Acer and recently downloaded and installed the update for the Synaptic touchpad (January 17, 2017). After rebooting my laptop, I can use the touch pad to move the cursor when logging in, but once the system as loaded, I cannot move the cursor using the touch pad. I can left-click and right-click, and shrink and expand on the touch pad, but have no control over the cursor. I currently have a mouse attached to the computer in order to move the cursor.
When I click on the link for more information about the update, there currently is no information. Quite frustrating.
Please advise as how to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

Then your only option is to contact Acer as they has sole responsibility for the functioning of their products, both hardware and software.

Hi,
I recommend to contact Acer support to feedback the driver issue.
In my sight, please open Device manager and roll back the driver to an older version which worked fine before Manufacture update this driver again:

Totally same situation here with Acer V5-473G. The driver does not offer roll-back option.
Just download the older version of driver from manufacturer's website, and do the reinstallation.
Please also feedback your issue to Acer, we can just wait for Acer's update.
