but anyway, if it works for now, good enough for me!This solution works ! The instructions were very easy to follow and the settings were retained after multiple test restarts and fast startups. So, this is a sign something weirder is going on behind the scenes, if the driver thinks it is "upgrading" after every reboot.

It is holding on mine, still have to test on another computer. Now go back to the Synaptics control panel, set everything how you like, and reboot. Look for a key in that Install folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade Note this is LOCAL MACHINE, not CURRENT USER. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install I think I found a fix! After mucking around in the registry, trying all sorts of stuff, moving keys around, with some PARTIAL success but not totally satisfactory. This solution worked for me, my mouse settings now hold after restarting. I will copy paste the answer for you all. Found an answer that worked on another forum.
