I had the older driver working exactly the way that I want it to on my Lenovo Twist. Unfortunately, it's been driving me nuts ever since I upgraded to 8.1. I want it to work like a mouse. I was able to disable gestures with no problem but the one feature that I would like to disable has no option for that. I would like to disable the driver. Permanently.

I keep uninstalling it, when I do, my trackpad works like a mouse, exactly the way I want it. Of course it keeps re-installing itself. How do I stop this?

    A clear title goes a long way in making people read your question. With a title like 'I hate the thinkpad Ultranav driver for 8.1' - you would have made people not got through the click at all – Sathyajith Bhat Nov 10 '14 at 03:32
  • On the contrary, it helps the OP make a better question. I'd also ask what is the current and previous versions they've had. – Journeyman Geek Nov 10 '14 at 05:51
  • Were the other comments that were here removed? As a first time user here, I really appreciated the support that I received from other users after the extremely unhelpful moderator here. It's great that he wanted me to "make a better question", not so great the snotty response and the downrate. – Nomad Coder Nov 10 '14 at 16:38

Run the tool DriverStore Explorer to remove the Touchpad driver from the Driverstore, disable the Option to search on Windows Update for drivers and now Windows can't install the driver again.

  • Thank you. That worked. I found a great tutorial here on this question: http://superuser.com/questions/665158/can-i-prevent-a-driver-from-being-installed-with-windows-8-1?rq=1 – Nomad Coder Nov 10 '14 at 17:08
