Describe the problem

Can't uninstall this random applications

What have you tried?

None.

Okay, i have a custom build PC by myself and i don't own any Synaptics products at all. But today, it show " Synaptics Pointing Device Driver in my control panel, and i try to uninstall. However, it keeps saying " There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\ Synaptics\SynTP\SynlDLL.dll". I try to search the entire folder inside Program files but is unable to find. What i try next is the search box on file explorer, and the result is none. So any help?

Also, i didn't install any Synaptics Pointing Device Driver at all. It just randomly show up on Control Panel today.

Could it have come when you updated to Windows 10.

Or maybe you used a driver updater program such as Driver Booster, etc.and it has installed a wrong driver?
It's strange because there are references to Synaptics.

This is a desktop correct?

Which Razer product are you using, include screen size and year?
What OS are you running?

You can try uninstalling and installing the latest drivers from Razer Support - Downloads
For Razer Systems- Razer Support

In one the products FAQ, it mentions this:

When my Razer Blade Pro comes out of the sleep or standby mode, the track pad does not work. How can I fix this? If you experience this problem, wait for the dialog box titled "Synaptics Touchpad Enhancements" to appear. Then, press and hold the "alt" key and then press the "tab" key to activate the dialog box.

Synaptics drivers are used on Razer laptops, and may come pre-installed.

Lesson #2: Don't let anyone use your PC without you watching them.
