Synaptics TouchPad Driver Update

The HP Support Assistant popped up to suggest I let the tool scan my system for updates. I said OK but chose the option to inform me and not to do automatic installs. It suggested I update the Synaptics TouchPad Driver. I said OK as I prefer my touchpad behave as optimally as possible. No restart was needed after the install though my touchpad froze for a few seconds. I'll have to see if Windows Update suggested this as an optional update. Not sure what I think of these corporate preinstalled apps running as a service. I'm still working to clean the system of unwanted/unneeded apps and services. This is one service I may disable.
