Like all other gesture software, ASUS smart gesture is also known to host problems. Sometimes either the gestures don’t get registered or the software doesn’t run at all. This is a known issue in most of ASUS’s laptops. We have listed down all the articles related to this problem. Take a look.
Solution 1: Checking if the touchpad is locked or if ASUS is disabled
Before we start with the extensive troubleshooting, you should check if the very feature is disabled on your computer. Mostly, ASUS laptops have the F9 key which disables or enables the touchpad keyboard. In some cases, it is Fn + F9. Make sure that the touchpad is working and isn’t locked. It was also noticed that after a Windows 10 update, the operating system automatically disables this feature. We can try enabling this and see if this fixes the problem.
Now restart your computer and check if the smart gesture works.
Solution 2: Repairing ASUS Smart Gesture
Before we search for fresh installation copies of the software, it is worth trying to repair it. When you repair any software, Windows checks all the installation files for any discrepancies which may be present or repairs the registry which is set with the software. Furthermore, group policies are also checked and errors are corrected (if any).
Solution 3: Rolling Back Driver
Sometimes when a newer version of Windows gets released, it isn’t compatible with all the drivers or software currently present on your computer. If they aren’t, the manufacturers either release a new update or advise you to roll back to a previous version. If you are experiencing a situation where after updating Windows/driver, the module doesn’t work; you can try rolling back the driver. Do note that you might require administrative privileges to perform this.
Solution 4: Resetting to Default
If all the above methods don’t prove to be useful, we can try resetting all the settings back to default. There is also a chance that when you were changing the settings or customizing the module according to your requirements, you might’ve incorrectly set the settings. Do note that resetting the settings back to default will remove all your preferences and you will have to set them again from scratch.
Solution 5: Downloading Modules
ASUS Smart Gesture depends on several other modules as well in order for correct operation and that no errors occur. These modules are either already installed on your computer or are included in the update package from Windows.
